Looks quite nice. That pad is just what the doctor ordered. The triggers are wonderful in these. The bolt is very smooth. Nice find. You’ll enjoy that.

Did you pick that up in Lewiston at the gunshow? If so, it has my fingerprints on it. 😁

i also have a Remington 721 300 H&H from 1953. Wouldn't be surprised if the factory ran off a batch of them. They weren't fast sellers in those days when it was figured 30-06 to do about everything needed on this continent. Such as Western Auto didn't carry the chambering and you'd likely have to go downtown to Sears or Wards! Oh my! Mine's not with original pad either. Any such era rifles that are, those pads are "artefacts" and hard as rocks! The 721/722 series were great "price point" guns as getting the job done and introducing two action lengths. ...As Winchester's "pre '64 quality rendezvous' with fate was ticking. Best! John

By far my favorite rifle! Long story short, I found two of them in a pawn shop in Ut in about 2001 or so. I was broke AF and couldn't afford one, much less two. One had great meatl and a garbage stock. The other had a nice stock but garbage metal. I made one good one out of the two, sold the red headed step child and to this day that is my favorite rifle. I call it the "Meat Stick" and it has taken 20+ whitetails, an antelope, bear and 2 elk.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Several years ago, I walked into a gun shop and they had a Remington M721 in 264WM on the used rack. Dont remember the price, but it was in excellent condition. I mentioned it to another gun head and he bought it the same day. Only one in 264WM that I have ever seen in the flesh

The “B” grade 721’s are fairly scarce. The upgraded stock wood with factory sling swivels and cut checkering makes them worthy of special attention I’m willing to give them.

I came into this one much by accident and have found it to be a good rifle. I had it glass bedded and the trigger tuned thinking to use it as a moose rifle. Am now in the midst of a serious gun purge and considered selling this one, but keep 2nd guessing thinking it's a keeper I'd regret selling. I have lots of brass (300pcs) and dies so not a problem there

The BDL's are marked BDL right behind the lettering 721. They have upgraded wood and they are sweet.
