Remington 721

I was at a gun show Saturday and saw a Remington 721 in a .257 Roberts. I thought the 721s were only made in a .270, .30-06 and a couple Magnums. In the gun books it says that they made a .257 Roberts in the Remington 722 but the one I saw the dealer had 721 wrote on the tag and I am 99.99% sure I remember seeing 721 on the reciever.

Did Remington make the 721 in a .257 Roberts?

    I am looking at getting a rifle chambered in the 300 H&H mag cal.
    I see some Remington 721 were made in the 300 H&H
    I was woundering if the 721 is as accurate as a factory 700 Remington

    Thanks

    joken,

    Depends on what you mean.

    The M700 floorplate and magazine will not fit an M721 stock without significant inletting.

    The M700 floorplate and magazine will fit the M721 action screw spacing so you could put the M721 barreled action in an M700 BDL stock and then use the M700 floorplate.

    Make sense?

    Best.

    So, My best bet would be to put the 721 barreled action on a 700 stock and 700 floorplate. I think I've got it. Thanks for the answer . Thanks, Ken

    I think you will have to do a little work on the 700 stock to make the 721 saftey work in it. Nothing major.

    Yes, the safety and the rear sight doughnut on the barrel if there is one on your rifle. But basically it's a straight drop in from an M721 to M700 as far as a footprint is concerned.

    Best.
