that NRA page is so high-end technical the flash BS doesn't load.



The 720 is the Cadillac of the Remington Enfields, a beauty. The bolt handle is especially nice as is the triggerguard, I've always thought.

Owning a 720 in '06 or .270 and a 54 Winchester in 7x57 is an old ache of mine.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Indeed; Remington still produces the trigger guard bow and bolt sleeve shapes on the Model 700 to this day! They just cut corners on the receiver machining and extractor.

One of the members, from Alaska IIRC, put one together with the issue bolthandle, guard, and rear sight. Had it in a synthetic stock, I forget if it was in something other than '06- anyway, that was one brutal piece of machinery. Those guys need that kind of thing up there, something's liable to come along and make a meal out of 'em.

You can go a lot of interesting different ways with a '17. I have a Remington action that I got in the original box as was shipped to a man from the DCM- twelve dollars in 1949, I believe.

Picture of my 1917 35 Whelen. I just finished reworking the camo on the stock...pic is blueish but the colors are Krylon Fushion camo colors, light and dark green, Sand and light brown.
Since I like the original bolt handle I left it.
