I finally fixed the pics...Hunt101 changed their format. shot1too - I didn't mean to offend - my comment was mostly poking fun at myself. I am a collector of Winchesters (GASP) and have thrown logic to the wind for many purchases. If you always buy with your brain instead of your heart you will like...

Born-again 721 Meets Mulie
I don't see alot of "action" posts on this site, so I hope this is OK. But I am pretty jazzed and wanted to share... My dad's first bolt action deer rifle, bought in about 1960, was a Remington 721 in 264 Win Mag. He had it rebarreled (at the factory) in the mid-sixties due to a shot-out t...

I have noticed that most Hepburn questions go unanswered, so I'll keep mine simple and hope for the best. I would like to know a source (book, website, guru, etc.) that shows what sights were offe...

I found this sight researching vintage sights for my newly acquired Hepburn. I suppose I can qualify as a Remington collector since I have a few various models, old and new.
It looks like a great forum.
