Good evening everyone! Im new here and just wanted some advice and background knowledge from you all..
I was just given a Remington 721 in 30-06, with a Bushnell 4x-32. I know little about the history of the rifle, amount of round put through it, but i do know that it was manufactured in December of 1950. The rifle is in great shape, but I am aware of some sort of recall that happened concerning firing of rounds when disengaging the safety when a round is chambered, and was wondering if anyone would be willing to give advice on that issue. I plan on taking it to a gunsmith to have it "tuned up" before I take it to the range, or hunt with it. This is the only firearm I own, and would obviously be my hunting rifle. I live in Western Washington, so any advice on ammunition choices, scope changes if needed, etc. to make it as accurate as possible would be greatly appreciated.
