I'm looking for pix and information about the Rem 720, which was the sucessor to the Rem 30 Express just prion to WW2. Any info as to where to look for this will be appreciated.

Thanks, Bob...with less than 3K made, it's no wonder I never heard much talk about it. As it's the transition model between the Enfield action of the model 30 and the round receiver of the 700 series, I'm curious as to what it looked like. Thanks again

Here's a pix of a new in the box one.

The Rem 720 is a fine rifle.Fresh out of High School,a Buddy bought one in 270 caliber.He liked everything but the stock.It was plain and a tad skimpyfor him.He's a big fella.I made a new one for him from a Herter's catalog.It was very accurate;mimute of angle,I think.

Bob -- I checked out the photos on the website but they were not to clear, but I found others that helped. Thanks for the Rem website... very useful!
