Cool. I was wondering if it would have the 26" barrel like the 722's in 222 Rem,. And it appears it does. I kinda have a soft spot for 21/22 series. Good guns.

For grins, or several unknowns for some. Try to find an older gun traders guide off E-B or something. With all the interest in pre 64 Winchesters, Remingtons of that era are overlooked, & rarely seen. 721's, 722's, 725's, even big bores like the 725 Kodiak. Higher grade 1158's, B,C,D, & even E grade 1100's & 870's.
Of all the gun shops & shows I've been to over the last half century & I've seen few of the 50's Remington offerings myself.

Definitely has the high grade wood!!! Beautiful.
Does it really have the 24" barrel or is it 26"? I would have guessed 26" on that one. Perhaps it was rare enough or more of a custom order where you could get whatever barrel length you wanted.
Regarless, very nice!

That is a nice rifle. Cool factor for being marked 244 remington.

My son has a late production 721 in 270 win that my Dad bought used, gave to my younger brother who then passed down to my son. That rifle has a higher straighter comb than the earlier 721s and has a 22" barrel without the boss. with screw on sights and what appears to be a sweated on front ramp.
