With the exception of some particular rifles both Winchester & Remington dropped from sale rifles for more profitable models that were much less accurate pre 64 70's and the Remington as discussed another rarely mentioned Remington is the 700 Classic which 1 caliber a year were made in the classic old style looks and finish and calibers, the caliber told the year made. Mine is a 220 Swift a friend has one in 250-3000. Great rifles.

The Annoyed Man wrote:For the uninitiated, the only Remington bolt action I've ever owned or fired are 700s. Can someone explain to me what are the practical and/or mechanical differences between the 700 on one hand, and the 721/722/788 on the other hand?

Thanks.

21 and 22's long and short actions different safety never saw one with a detachable release floor plate all I ever saw had no checkering of any kind plain wood fair triggers pre 700's most had a great feel of a real solid rifle and shot good kink of like a cheaper ADL 700

788, real cheap plain stocks very some had extractor failures all mag fed from bottom, bolt had 9 locking lugs, few aftermarket parts, carbine only in 7/08 & 308 short barrel real short ! light weight, trigger no adjustment and not too good, cost usually $69-$99 new, shot so well that they hurt the introduction of the 700's with price factored in, shortly there after dropped, mags hard to find, all 5 I have had were honest 1/2 minute rifles still have 3, just a cheap rifle in every way that shot very well, 9 locking lugs on rear of bolt free float bolt face, some early benchrest rifles were made from them very strong action, round and was sleeved. non detachable sling swivels, had iron sights, my 7/08 looks like it was used in all world wars and still 1/2 minute. They had a cult type following. Some had to pull trigger to release bolt, others push safety forward some both. They has 2 types of safeties. There have been several articles backing up the claim about the discontinues due to price and how they shoot. 3 shot mags usually except 222/223. They came in 222-223-22/250-243-6mm-308-44 mag-30-30, 24" barrels except the 2 carbines they were either 16 or 18".
Mine were $79.95
Most that have then keep them.

722 here in 244 Rem (6mm) just the 244 marked ones had slower twist for lighter bullets If memory is correct.

Any Remington 721 or 722 shooters here? calibers? Rarely see any anymore, where have they all gone.
