REMINGTON 721 in .375 H&H MAGNUM

[Tbitty]

Pardon my interruption, but I think you're going the wrong direction in pursuing open sights. Just forget the sights, and pony up a few more bucks for a Nikko Stirling 5-25x50 scope for precision shooting off that back porch. Mount it with the highest rings that you can find. If you're worried about the scope hitting your eye, then follow that suggestion to get a PAST recoil pad; but glue it to the back of the scope, and cut a hole you can see through.

Here's a good scope for less than the open sights would cost. It sits farther forward to help prevent the Scope Bite from too much recoil to handle.

Please go actually do your responsibility to at least read a person's first post but yet paying attention to any direct point they made instead of you merely throwing out stuff that obviously does nothing to legitimately help provide the actual information which they clearly said came here to get.

Through the post, I also said how I have no need for a scope when this gun will be used for shooting within 150 feet.
Again, the iron sights are what I specifically chose and for good reason. I dont need anyone trying to convince me of anything that I already made clear is something I'm not interesting in doing

LOL, no doubt Mr. Ruark will be along shortly with his copy/paste response.

When you and anyone else keeps running your mouth trying to cause more arguments and problems instead of providing anything intelligent, of coarse going to copy n paste responses which directly apply to you and/or them

This is a fascinating thread whereby I feel I’ve fallen though a looking glass. A member of the forum asks a question about his rifle but also mentions his experience shooting it whereby some members respond with commentary about his experience as well as comments about the question about sight whereby engaging in discussion as appropriate on a discussion forum. The original poster takes offense whereby he attacks those who are responding to his post. It appears that the only acceptable response would have been to post nothing but the exact part number and probably a source for purchase.

If the forum operated as the optional poster seems to prefer it would be quite boring whereby it would likely perish. I myself prefer one where ideas can be exchanged freely even if slightly off topic whereby we can all exchange information and possibly increase our general knowledge.

It is strangely fascinating ,likely in an unhealthy way.

It really makes me wonder about the generation of the original poster. I don’t claim to know much about psychology of the different generations and I’m old so I wrongly tend to lump everyone younger with this attitude of “ do it for me when I want it how I want it but dont ask me to put effort in or even be appreciative of others efforts to help and only tell me what I want to hear to falsely validate how amazing I am because I’m so fragile I can’t handle anything else” into the term “millennial”.

Surely there’s a grad student among us who can analyze and explain this behavior for us so we as a forum can improve and not be so offensive.

Well that’s it for my morning ramblings from the crapper. Cheers all

@Country-Folk, I believe you are on the wrong forum. We don't insult members for providing additional information, or for maybe misreading your post. I've provided you with the link to the web site for the best place to buy spare parts for older rifle/pistols. Like I said earlier, you can get a lot done by being a bit more respectful and tactful. Maybe this is how you are, and how you treat others, but in this forum, we try to be polite and respectful to others. You unfortunately have neither. Like I wrote earlier, maybe this is not the right forum for you. Have a great day.

My mind goes directly to a picture of a 14 year old in his parent's basement with nothing better to do than jack with a bunch of boomers online.

Oh, my apologies. I saw Mr. Cash's post and reacted to it rather than your OP.

So I can try to better help, are you just wanting to know what original sights are so you can find them, or looking for current production options that you can use to add to your rifle? That will help me search for what you want.

I see you're getting a lot of not helpful advice, including mine above unfortunately. Ill try to be better next time.

Perhaps this is just our Bitcoin and Dubai call-girl spammer who has finally bought a big game rifle, and now has something semi-relevamt to discuss with the forum members. ;-)

If there is any genuine ethics within that, it will explain the manners for others to follow and not going into a people's post to merely blabber stuff instead of actually reading and/or paying attention to that person's reasons for coming to the forum to get help on a matter.

Over these past few months of trying the forums, I can certainly see why SO MANY people have left them
The vast majority of the people here are merely using it as a chat room as if its tictoc to merely blabber stuff and often having nothing to do with the point of the person's post.

And doesnt take long, like seen in countless posts here and in some other forums, whereby people's post was high jacked with other people's mere blabber that ended up getting other blabbers there to go off on their same non-related subject matter about nothing that actually sticks to the point of the post in order to actually help.

Again, I can certainly see why SO MANY people have left these forums and never looked back

Hi thank you for the consideration. I genuinely appreciate it

I came here hoping to pin point the year of the gun (if possible) and then to somehow narrow down the original style sight that came on the gun and regardless if the gun's original barrel had been replaced.

1 person here provided information that is likely helping to narrow down the year.
According to that information, it appears this gun could of been manufactured in the late 1950's

The same person provided a parts manual which I had already come across since it immediately comes up in just about any basic search result for Remington 721 parts,
but the obvious problem with the manual is the situation I have already explained in detail here whereby the manual doesnt prove the sight in the manual is the original one that came on everyone's gun.
Its certainly a fact that Remington made at least 2 different sights, and I'm seeing there is likely a third type of sight used in some cases, but there is ONLY one type of those sights EVER shown in any of the Remington 721 manual,
and so a manual that only shows the same sight for all the years the Remington 721 was manufactured when there are in fact 2 different sights and possibly a third sight, confirms that no one can rely on that manual

With all the confusion and with the consideration that the rifle may not be originally barreled if it's is a 721 vs a 725, it may be best to take it to a reputable gunsmith to find out the best application of sites that fit it. Point-of-aim vs point-of-impact may be (will be) different if it's a custom barreled, as it seems unlikely Remington would leave sights off one so far back. The usual sight used is the long elevated front sight with a simple buck horn style in the back. It may be a case of find what works and what your preference is out of those choices.

Should probably put a scope on it instead.
