Need to find a new home for this Remington Model 721 in .300 H&H. It's a real classic, made in April of 1950, the month Harry Truman decided not to seek re-election, and Wham-O came out with a flying disk they would call the Frisbee.
The bore of the 26-inch barrel is excellent. It wears a classic El Paso Weaver K-6 with fine crosshairs. Blue is probably 75 percent and the stock shows use but not abuse. A crack in the wrist just behind the trigger guard seems to have been expertly repaired. The Morgan adjustable buttplate is surprisingly comfortable.
I'd love to know what game this rifle has seen.
I only put a few rounds of jacketed and a few rounds of cast through it so I could say, "I once owned and shot a .300 H&H." Both groups were pleasing.
Asking $675 plus $50 shipping, and will include dies, 49 pieces of Winchester brass-- nine of them once fired -- and an unopened box of Barnes 165-grain TTSX bullets.
If my HVAC from hell wasn't jeopardizing getting my house on the market, I wouldn't let go of it.
As the home remodel shuffles along, here is another one that needs a new address:
It's a brand-new, unfired Ruger American Predator Gen 2 in 6mm ARC, with an additional 10-round Duramag. It's the green spatter stock and 22-inch bronze cerakote barrel version. Asking $500 plus $35 shipping. If you want the Hornady dies, 80 pieces of virgin Starline brass, a box of Hornady 100-grain Interlocks and a partial box of Sierra 90-grain tipped Gamekings, add $100.
Chose the 6mm ARC for its reputation for hyperaccuracy at distance, and its ability to deliver a decent game bullet with modest recoil so anyone in the family can shoot it well.

My favorite magnum. I have two already, a 721 and Model 70, but I'm trying to convince myself to make it a trio. Gonna try hard to resist. The brass is as good as gold now. I don't think Hornady has done a run in several years.

The 788's were a big collector thing a ways back. I had one in 223 that was a nice shooter. Basic and plain looking, but put bullets on-target well. Oddly enough, I had a friend who had a 788 in 44 Magnum - seemed odd for a bolt-action rifle - although I'm saying that as a proud owner of a Ruger 77/44...

$650 shipped for the Model 721 .300 H&H, brass, dies and Barnes bullets.
The Ruger in 6mm ARC is about to get consigned. Scheel's sells this rifle for $599 plus $47 tax.
If you are unsure about the 6mm ARC, keep in mind Hornady publishes two sets of load data for this cartridge: loads to 52,000 psi for the AR-15 platform, and loads to 62,000 for bolt guns like this one. For example, the maximum velocity for a 90-grain bullet in the AR is 2,750; in the bolt gun it is 3,050 -- a meaningful gain of 300 fps.
Ruger uses a 1:7.7 twist in the ARC to stabilize the very heavy long-range bullets.
