Wonder if they will include the warranty on the sloppy workmanship from the last few years?
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

What's a 720 BF? A Factory sporterised M1917?

Often think the best Remington bolt action is a 798 (which is a rebranded Zastava!!!)
Was sure I had a point when I started this post...

A Remington 720 was a 1941 Remington based on the Remington Model 30 ( which was a 'stolen' M1917 action....)  anyway, Remington made some JUST BEFORE THE WAR and the US Govt bought most of them for Naval Trophy Rifles and gave them as First Prizes for many years afterwards....

....a few made it into civilian hands.....they were made in 30-06 AND a couple in 270 Winchester!!  

They are hard to find.....like King Solomon's Mines.....

They never made any more.....after the war Remington came out with the Model 721 and the Model 720 disappeared into legend.....

I want a Rem 722 in .300 Savage in the worst way.....   mount a scope on it... and along with my 99... I'd have the perfect set-up for Whitetails in this part of the country... scoped 722 for the open areas and the a Buck-horn open-sight 99 for Timber....  hopefully they would both shoot the same version equally well.  And with the innovative rotary magazine in the 99... both can shoot pointed bullets!!

300 Savage is an excellent cartridge for medium sized game including black bear....I'm sure it has taken it's share of moose, too....I have read that years ago it was used in India for tigers!

I have a 1971 Marlin. 

I saw a Remington 600 in 308 for sale at a gun show the other day. Man it was light. I have always wanted a 600, don't know why. Should have bought it, but wifey would have pitched a fit. Yes she was there..... otherwise I might have just had to ask for forgiveness. LOL

Savage doesn't surprise me, I bought their lowest priced rifle in December with a scope for 279.99 on sale, with a 100 dollar rebate.  I mean for 179.99 for a .243 for my son's to take hunting... dude.
