It's almost been 6 months since I had put this Remington721 .375 H&H Mag on layaway and now I finally got it paid off!
The seller wasted no time getting it packaged and dropped off at the UPS in Florida to be shipped here to my FFL in Eastern Ohio.
Picked up the gun yesterday and felt like Christmas morning to get it home, check for any issues with it, and then took it out on my back porch to make some noise in the neighborhood!
Everything went great!
Approximately 5 months ago I had bought Nosler 300gn Accubond, and after tax n shipping costs it came to a 100 bill.
and WOW that gun kicks like a mule and can put a man in the poor house quite quickly at 5.00 every time a chunk of lead is sent screaming out that barrel at an average of 2,400 fps.
I just got done with a budget build Savage110 .416 Rem Mag and it doesn't kick as much as this Remington721 .375 H&H Mag.
I'm guessing it's because the Savage 416 Rem Mag has a heavier barrel and a muzzle brake.
Well everything did go great with shooting the .375 H&H Mag BUT there is the issue of not being any sights on the gun.
It does have scope mounts on it but I'm not wanting to spend extra money for a scope, and I also dont like the risk of getting punched in the eye with it
I want what is practical for me which is open iron sights whereby I'm just shooting this gun with friends and family in my back yard that's around 50 yards from the porch to the woods
The following pictures have Winchester model 70 deluxe rear and front sight next to the gun but I'm wanting to find the original sights to put on it.
And so I'm sending a shout out for anyone who can tell me with certainty as to what sights would of came on this gun, and please provide some pictures of them and provide any other information including part/model numbers for the sights....
please keep in mind that just because the Remington 721 manual only shows one style of sight throughout its nearly 13-year production, this does not mean it was the only sight that the factory put on the 721.
Remington used at least two styles, and I'm recently seeing there could possibly been a third variation that was used.
REMINGTON 721 SERIAL NUMBER: 1 1 2 9 8 2
Its located on front left side of the action/receiver and is shown down below in the pictures.
And no, there are no letters whereby I was told seems to be odd since earlier on, Remington apparently once used letter(s) in order to represent the year of its manufacturing.
So what year is this gun based on the serial number and any of its characteristics?
NOTE:
Right, the barrel is not original to the gun.
The barrel is stamped with "APEX MATCH GRADE"
This would have replaced the original Remington barrel upon the gun being converted to the .375 H&H Mag
