Remingtons records indicate the the 244's ROT was changed from 1 in 12" to 1 in 10" in May 1960, 713000 in the 725 and 434000 in the 722. My 725, SN 7015xx, in 244 has a 1 in 10" ROT and an assembly code date of 11/60. I also have a couple of 725 take-off barrels in 244 that have a 1 in 10" ROT, but I didn't write the assembly dates down in my records.
