remington 722 in .300 savage, flea market special.

[eastbank]

at one of my favorite flea markets that opened up today i found this remington 722 in .300 savage(my second one) with a ex bore and very good outside made in nov 1951. some one slathered a coating of varnish on it, and i will remove it slowly to see if any factory finish remains under the varish.

I bet it turns out to be a good shooter too.

least it looks like mostly well slathered varnish.

Good score, i wish our flee markets had such neat things.....

i realy have two other .300 savage remingtons, another 722 and a 700 rem classic in .300 savage that i have not fired. with 150 gr nosler BT,s at 2700 fps they make dandy deer rifles.

Flea market special? Likely under current collector prices? Good buy.

.300 Savage caliber? Bit of an oddball caliber, but performance rather similar to a .308 Winchester; no slouch. Good luck with the finish and good shooting.

Really cool. Old rifles are my favorite. I never find anything like that at a flea market or yard sale. Thought I was doing good once when I found a bag of what I thought was .223 brass. Bought it and when I got home it was .222. Just my luck.

I guess that went over your head. When that happens it's God telling you to get a .222. God wants to bless you with one of the most splendid calibers ever made.

Congrates. They are pretty neat old rifles. I had a 725 in 244 for several years and have sold several 721's and 722's on consignments. The 725 brought a pretty penny since they only made a little over 800 in that caliber. The 300 Savage is such a nice round that I am amazed that it doesn't sell better.
