My dad returned from the service in 1953, and purchased his first hunting rifle, a Remington model 721 chambered in .270Win. We hunted together over the years and that was his go-to rifle. He gave it to me a couple of years before he passed. I was going to just keep it in the safe as Dad’s gun, but I decided to load develop for it. Surprisingly, it was a shooter! I put a Grayboe stock on it to just protect the original wood stock. I also put a Maven scope on it (it’s first scope, dad shot open iron sights), and it’s a great deer rifle. Here’s a picture with my grandson, my dad’s great-grandson, harvesting a Texas Hill Country deer for the family table. I wouldn’t take $5000 for it.
