Mine was a Remington Mod. 721 in 30.06. It was used but in good condition and it had a recoil pad, something very necessary for a skinny 15-year-old kid. It was my second choice. I wanted a JC Higgins M51 in .270, but it cost over $100 . A lot of money in 1958. I got the 30.06 for $70. I wish I still had it. During my senior year at Fresno State I was forced to sell it for book money.
