I have a few 722s and 721s and from what I have read and found thru taking the ones I have apart there are no Cs...I have a couple 721 Bs and those have fancy grain wood and are checkered and are marked B by hand after the 721 on recevier and they are marked or stamped B in the stocks barrel channel...Then I have a 722 in 222rem that has a very straight grained stock but it's checkered and barrel channel is marked AC but no marking on recevier... the other odd one I have is a 722 in 257roberts that has a real nice fancy grain checkered pice of wood but no marking after 722 on recevier but the barrel channel is marked HC ... I thought it was a B because of wood an checkering !! It's the only one I have seen marked HC... Thats all I can tell you. You should get a copy of THE REMINGTON 700 by JOHN F. LACY great book with info on 720-721-722-725-700s

I think that is some kind of customized gun.. The front checkering panel doesn't look right nor have I ever seen a 722 with a capped pistol grip and it also looks like the bolt handel has been swept up a bit !!! Back to the " C " question.. I wonder if that would mean it came from the Remington custom shop allthough I don't know if that had been established at that time ??? Let me know if you find any thing more out ... Thanks John
