721 722 725 dates of mfg

[Rem725]

Thanks for the entry.
It fits in our list right here
439xx 722-300S D/TT 9/48 rear ring not tapped
442xx 721-3006 D/TT 9/48 rear ring is/was tapped
452xx 721-3006 W/TT 8/48

The different wood tip is an alteration.
Can you compare the screw holes in the rear receiver ring to the ones in the front ring. If you can tell that they are "factory" drilled appearing cleanly machined like the front holes, or they are rougher in appearance if drilled aftermarket, we would like to know. Aftermarket holes may not show the same blueing appearance.

The 375 is top gun 458 on bottom

Howdy all - Just signed on to add one more to your list: Model 725, S/N 716xxx, date code PG, cal. .244 Rem. It has the faster ROT. I thought when I checked it was 1/9", but that was several years ago. Probably is actually the advertised 1/10" ROT. I'll have to double check when I can. Believe it's in its original livery, but missing the front sight hood. Has fixed sling swivels (original?). Condition OA is VG - Exc, with a couple of minor varnish mars where it got chipped off. Bluing is Exc. Photos? - Maybe (if/when I learn how!)

Thanks for the 244 entry. Interesting about the twist.

To all
I just noticed the date on the first post.
I have been doing this list for 16 years. Wow!
I must like these old Remingtons.

Thanks usabaker
Your 721 is 9 months older than me.
Still good looking too

Seems that only the wood and the trigger guard bluing is faded is worn on this. I'm guessing is that this was used as a hunting rifle most of its life and only shot minimally, the stork and bluing wear on the trigger guard is constant with that activity.

The bigger problem is, like a Lion that has taste Human Blood, I think I'm addicted to this particular model and I find myself scouring the used gun market looking for another! Seems I'm stuck on finding a low number 200xxx range and one in 300 H&H. Why? LOL, that's a good question I can't seem to answer.

Not my first Remington addiction, I've lost count on the number of model 12's .22 slide actions I have.. somewhere around fourteen I think. and 500 Series 22's its gotta be around sixteen or so.

I just brought another Remington 721 home less than an hour ago, haven't cleaned it yet. Nice condition 1953 in 300 H&H. Can wait to clean her up and take her to the range. Just need to find some 300 H&H brass to reload.

I saw an early Remington 721 30-06 on an auction. Since there were no pictures of the inside the bolt rail I ask the seller for the serial number. He told me it didn't have one. I told him that the serial number was located in the receiver and if he pulled the bolt back he would see it. I also told him that the serial number should also be electro penciled on the bolt body.

He wrote me back with the serial number and that it matched the bolt. He put up new pictures and guess what he did! He stamped the serial number on the receiver where the latter 721's had them, and not even in a straight line!

Shame, I would have bid on that right because it is an early one.

2243x 30-06 E SS 10/47 (S/N inside the bolt rail [owner stamp outside on receiver], Not factory tapped on rear receiver ring)
