I would never advise a Canjar trigger for a hunting rifle. Properly adjusted and maintained for target use is fine.

O UU is the month I was born in. Wish I had that 270. Also an OUU 722 257 Roberts. The 257 would pinpoint the day.

Something doesn't look right. My guess is the barrel was swapped and somehow restamped A UU

Found this very early magnum for sale on net.
721 300HH D TT appears to be the date code.
Rear ring is untapped.

1955 yes. Your 370426 is between
3699xx 722-244 E B 10/55
371xxx 721-3006 D B 9/55

The B indicates 1955. The letter before B indicates month.
Your should have a E or D as in EB or DB.
These letters are on the left side in the chamber area.

Thanks usabaker
Your 721 is 9 months older than me.
Still good looking too

To all
I just noticed the date on the first post.
I have been doing this list for 16 years. Wow!
I must like these old Remingtons.

Thanks for the 244 entry. Interesting about the twist.

281xx 300Savage is one of the earliest 722 on our list. A=Mar, TT=1948.

Other marks are proofs, and assembly marks

Thanks for the entry. It fits in our list right here 439xx 722-300S D/TT 9/48 rear ring not tapped 442xx 721-3006 D/TT 9/48 rear ring is/was tapped 452xx 721-3006 W/TT 8/48 The different wood tip is an alteration. Can you compare the screw holes in the rear receiver ring to the ones in the front ...

Looks like Dec 1951
First X=December

Stampings were not always in perfect order

1947xx 721-06 O XX 7/51

There is a long time 721 270 in my family too. Dad got it new in 1949 or 50. For many many deer hunts, it has passed from Dad to me to an Uncle and now my cousin. Other Remington 721s and one 725 is all I ever had a successful hunt with. Sometimes I did carry a Winchester Model 70 (pre 64 of course ...

Yes I just found the info in the Lacy book page 36-37. 1974 and newer 700s, the rear receiver ring is .100 lower than the front ring. Pre 1974 (including 721, 722, 725) the rear receiver ring is .117 lower than the front ring. I knew I had seen it somewhere. Now how do we identify bases for the ...

Yes, beautiful country down there.
I am only a few miles from Autzen, but am going to the range instead of the game.

I will answer my own question. I obtained a much newer 700 SA. That Weaver one piece rib fits and does not have the gap at the rear ring. I was right in my recall of seeing somewhere that the rear receiver rings of Model 700 rifles did change. The newer 700 has a taller rear receiver ring. Meaning ...
