[QUOTE="jc98ss, post: 694113, member: 53935"] i wasn't trying to violate any rules by posting that......but what's special about these, other than only 2,427 were ever made......from what i can gather, in the early 1940's they were Remington's newest rifle, and a plan to phase out the model 30-S with the 720 was in the works, but shortly after the first 1,000 rifles hit the civilian market, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese. this prompted the Military to buy up the remaining 720's that Remington had in stock (approx 1500). they also stuck a contract with Remington to immediately begin producing the model 1903 for the expected war time. has anyone out there ever shot a 720 ?.....i also read they're highly sought after for custom builds because the action is supposed to lock up very tight.
