Remington 721

[skeet]

Yep there are much better guns..of course they are usually much higher priced.Look at the prices of the contemporary Winchester M-70's..Cult following for them(Me too). What Mike said is all true.. But Remingon has sold millions of those 7XX series guns since the 40's. Yep..an ocassional handle comes loose..an extractor breaks the same things that can happen to any tool when you use it. I had a firing pin break in a good ol US 1903 Springfield They have also been involved in the demise of MANY (probably) millions of critters. He11 I knew a guy who literally broke an anvil. If you have the 721 go ahead and use it. If it breaks or fails you either have it fixed or get something else. Ain't too many of us that depend on a 7XX(or any other rifle) for our lives And as someone said on another thread here..If it ain't broke don't fix it. There are other guns that are good useable guns but so is the 721. I have a few of those miserable Remington 7XX series guns.. Ain't none broke yet..but if it does..I'll just have it fixed..and keep on using it. I am somewhat partial to Ruger 77s..Mainly cause my mother bought me one oh so many years ago. It ain't never broke either.
