The 1-12" ROT 722 244 barrels were 26" with a heavier, light magnum, contour and didn't have a barrel boss for the rear sight dovetail.
I'd want to see documentation of a 700 in 244 before I'd believe that it wasn't a parts gun. I have 2 loose 725 244 barrels that are 24", have the factory open sights installed, and are cut with 1-10" ROT.
I also have an early 700 ADL with the 6mm REM MAG roll stamp with the "MAG" X'd out, #579xx.

Cool, I didn't know that info.
Somewhere I have a 1961 and 63 Remington catalogs, I'm going to have to try and dig them up and see what Remington was calling the cartridge back then.
