Hi,
I am a new hunter, and am considering purchase of a Remington Model 721B in .270. I don't know much about them, but it has a shorter barrel with a muzzle brake. The wood is very nice. Like you would see more typically on a weatherby.
According to the stamp on the barrel it was made in 1951.
A few questions:
1. I am wondering if anyone on the forum has seen a factory muzzle brake from guns of this era (it appeared to be factory)?
2. Were these good, safe, and accurate rifles (will be used for deer hunting mainly)?
3. Is the value higher because it is a 721B with better wood (assuming more limited production), than a typical 721?
4. Asking price is $500 - what do you think?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
