Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1948, the Remington Model 721 was engineered alongside the short-action Model 722 as Remington's premier post-WWII bolt-action sporting rifle. Designed by legendary gun designer Mike Walker, the 721 revolutionized modern rifle production with its cylindrical receiver, recessed bolt face ("three rings of steel"), lightning-fast lock time, and crisp adjustable trigger. As the direct long-action ancestor of the world-renowned Remington Model 700, pristine Model 721 rifles chambered in classic .30-06 Springfield remain highly revered by vintage big-game hunters and American rifle purists.
This exact rifle, serial number 325568, was manufactured at Remington's Ilion, New York facility in 1953 (proven by the "ZZ" barrel date code and serial block). Chambered in versatile .30-06 Springfield, it features a 24-inch tapered steel barrel, factory blued finish, smooth American walnut pistol grip stock, front sight ramp, and sling swivels. It comes equipped with a period-correct, high-quality vintage Redfield 3X-9X variable magnification scope mounted securely on a solid Redfield one-piece base and ring set (with rubber lens covers included). Presenting in excellent original condition throughout with deep bluing, rich walnut wood grain, smooth bolt operation, and a bright clear bore, this 1953 Remington Model 721 .30-06 package is a turn-key setup for classic big game hunters, Model 700 collectors, or C&R firearms enthusiasts.
