[QUOTE="owlhoot, post: 481055, member: 30770"] While stationed at Ft Sill OK, there was a range where off-duty GIs could target practice with their own arms. A sgt next to me had a Rem 721 .30-06. He set up 5 M1 clips at the 100 yd line and proceded to knock them down very quickly. I was very impressed with Remington in general and the 721 in particular. I've seen advertisements for take-off barrels (GUN DIGEST the MAGAZINE, SHOTGUN NEWS, etc.) Perhaps a M700 bbl would work on that 721. Perhaps a .260 Rem on the long action, to seat heavier bullets in the case neck only. On the short action, these must be seated deeper and encroach on powder space. The 'o6 was nice when there used to be lots of surplus ammo, but it has more recoil than a lot of folks like. [/QUOTE]
