This is my first and probably last post. I am not a safari hunter but am a keen feral pest hunter in Australia. I did however build up a 9.3x 64 Brenneke at one stage which I think would have been suitable for a safari shoot. My reason for posting is this. I have a Model 721 Remington in 30.06 which I 'inherited' from my deceased father in law. While not an upmarket action it strong and shoots very well and was born the same year I was. I have a spare extractor which are as rare hens teeth and am about to get the problematic Walker trigger remedied although I have had no problems with either as yet. The problem was the stock which has the comb too low to fit a scope. While randomly looking through this website I saw an intro from Brett Rossouw - BDR Stocks who happened to live 10 minutes from me. I contacted Brett who subsequently made me a fine walnut stock for my 30.06 and also a stock for my daughters 6.5x55 on a Mauser 98 action. Could I say his work is first class. He is a great guy to deal with and has transformed my rifle. Thanks Brett
 
:S Welcome:
Hope it’s not you last post. You seem to fit right in !
 
Thanks for the welcome I tried to post this photo with the OP but my poor old iMac couldn't handle it.

Excellent old rifle(y)

I also have a 721 in 270 that was gifted from my grandfather. It is a tack driver! My father restocked mine in the 80's. I will try to post a pic or two when I get home in a couple weeks.....
 
Good day! Welcome to AH!

Welcome aboard. I have 3 721's, all of which I plan on reconditioning and giving to grandchildren.
 
Welcome to AH 721!
 
Greetings 721,

Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

30 to 35 years ago, in Alaska I had shot 3 caribou with a model 721 Remington, caliber .300 H&H.
That old rifle was scary accurate with 180 grain spitzers.
I prefer the Model 721 over the more tarted up and sparkly Model 700.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe
