*EXTREMELY RARE REMINGTON MODEL 720 US PROPERTY BOLT ACTION RIFLE.

*EXTREMELY RARE REMINGTON MODEL 720 US PROPERTY BOLT ACTION RIFLE. SN 41880. Cal. 30. This is a new, in the orig box, Remington Model 720. These rifles were a direct descendant of the Model 1917 action that evolved into the Model 30-S. The 720 was for the most part the early Navy trophy rifle that was given out as the prize for inter-service competition. This example remains new in the orig box with paperwork. The paperwork includes an orig letter on Remington Arms Company letterhead describing this rifle as the Remington Model 720, describing its accuracy as well as describing how it was used as a Secretary of Defense trophy rifle. Included is the receipt from the Government showing the name and date (1982) and serial number or social security number of the recipient of this rifle. Also included is an envelope containing Remington brochure of the period and a parts list that is dated effective November 15, 1941 listing all parts and prices on this rifle. Box is in good condition, retaining all descriptions, serial number, end label, and orig strapping tape that this rifle was shipped with. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Rifle is absolutely new in box. It appears that the bolt or sling have never been unpackaged. It is FJA inspected on the left side of the cheekpiece along with the crossed canons Government inspection marks. It also retains Mr. Stern’s inventory number taped to the butt. It retains 100% of the blue and still has the packing grease on the metal and part of the wood. The stock, with the exception of having the inspector stamp in it, has only one very small rub mark on the right hand side directly above the floorplate which is almost unnoticeable to the eye. Normally trophy rifles have the recipient’s name engraved along with the name and the date of the event on the floorplate. this does not. The floorplate and triggerguard assembly are as new. I was present when this gun was purchased by Mr. Stern a decade ago. I was in awe of it then and have not in my 40+ years of being around military firearms seen another equal to it. 4-34013 BK116 (5,000-9,000)
