I ended up getting this Remington Model 721 in 30-06. It belonged to my wife's grandfather. The scope is adjusted by adjusting the scope base; there is no windage / elevation adjust on the 2.5 X 8 Bausch and Lomb scope. The base is also Bausch and Lomb. I am going to clean it up and see how it shoots. The 721 was made up to 1961. I believe the original owner had it as early as 1955.
The original owner (Harry) did a lot of deer hunting with this rifle. We also found maps of Western MD and Canada, and a large fry pan that looks perfect for a camp fire. Also some old Remington 30-06 ammo, and Lyman reloading dies, bullets and brass.
Harry left a lot of notes from circa 1955 up through early 70's. Looks like the rifle is sighted in a 200 yards, and is dead on at 25 yards and 200 yards (see pic below).
The topo maps are from the US Gelogical Survey; also topo maps for Canada from the Dept. of Mines and Technical Surveys.
Interesting; thought I would share.
