Thanks 260,
Stamping is as follows: LE 12... looks like Feb. '58 in 30/06 caliber.
Although this WAS the original chambering, it's been rebored to 338-06 and a marked so above the 30-06 stamp.
It has a beautiful custom stock on it, so this is far from a collector's piece.
My questions are were they drilled and tapped from the facory? Even though iron sights are installed.
The safety is a three position safety much like the Ruger 77MKII, where center allows to release bolt, but trigger is inop.
Is this a 725 feature? from photos on GB and the like, the safety is stock.
Also, what significant features did the 700 introduce that made the 721/722/725 obsolete?
Thanks for your help!
