The Remington Model 722, marked .244 REM., is a short-action bolt-action centerfire rifle built by Remington Arms Co., Ilion, N.Y. and produced from 1948 to 1962. Its cylindrical receiver, one-piece walnut sporter stock, and blued barrel make it a recognizable piece of postwar American sporting-rifle history and the direct predecessor to the Remington Model 700.


 


A used Remington Model 722 in .244 Remington, serial 367618, with two-piece scope bases mounted on the receiver and a Williams-marked sight component on the barrel, this rifle is a natural fit for varmint and predator hunters, handloaders, and collectors of vintage Remington bolt-action rifles.
