Remington Model 721 Standard Grade (721A) .30-06 Bolt-Action Rifle, 24-Inch Barrel, Walnut Stock, Leupold One-Piece Base
This Remington Model 721 Standard Grade (721A) is a U.S.-made, long-action .30-06 with a 24-inch sporter barrel and a blind internal magazine. It carries the design features that made the 721 line notable, including the recessed bolt face with plunger ejector often described as "three rings of steel," and it comes drilled and tapped with a Leupold-marked one-piece scope base installed. Classic iron sights, a straight-comb walnut stock with sling swivels, and factory markings further round out this example, a direct predecessor to the Model 700.

The receiver is rollmarked "Remington MODEL 721" and the barrel is marked "Made in U.S.A." and "30-06 SPRG," confirming caliber and origin. The rifle bears the REP proof mark. It is a full-size, long-action configuration with a blind internal magazine for a 4+1 capacity.
Barrel length is 24 inches in a sporter profile. Sighting equipment includes a ramped front sight and an open rear sight with elevator. The receiver is drilled and tapped and is currently fitted with a Leupold-marked one-piece base for mounting optics.
The action features a recessed bolt face with a plunger ejector and an exposed cocking-piece shroud, a hallmark of the 721 design. The trigger guard is the stamped type, and the rifle uses a blind internal magazine.
Furniture is a straight-comb, uncheckered walnut stock with sling swivels and a Remington-branded serrated buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches. As a precursor to the Remington Model 700, this 721A reflects the engineering direction that would define Remington bolt guns for decades.
