April Build of the Month
Simplicity
In 1948 Remington introduced its bolt action 721. This rifle would come to define hunting accuracy for decades. In the post-WWII era scopes were still hard to afford yet hunters and shooters were looking for more accuracy and adjustment than iron sights offered.
Simplicity. A first year Remington 721 with Redfield adjustable peep sight.
For April we took a first year, all original Remington 721 in .270 win. This is a gun that represents post war meat and potatoes as much as any other. We envisioned the hunter that either didn't yet trust a telescopic sight, or who just didn't want to spring for it. Yet, he was interested in stepping his game up from the iron sight era.
Redfield peep.
The micro-adjustable Redfield peep gives this 721 additional accuracy at those "longer iron sight" ranges. The sight transforms the 721 into a whole new interesting and fun gun to shoot.
Original first year 721.
This classic design original first year 721 comes complete with the Redfield peep and iron sights. We can't find a defect in the wood. Bluing is original and 95%. Available for sale.
