Remington Arms Model 720 bolt action Navy Trophy rifle. These were manufactured in the late 1930s as a streamlined version of the Model 1917 rifle designed to compete against the Winchester Model 70 rifle. Approximately 2,500 were produced in total, and the majority of these were obtained by the U.S. Government in 1942 as war expedient rifles. They were retained after WWII and eventually given to the Navy, who in the 1960s/70s decided to issue them as presentation trophy awards for the top rifle shooters in the Navy and USMC. This rifle has not been awarded to anyone specifically as the floor plate remains unmarked. The rifle has a 22 inch sport weight barrel with a ramp front base and a buckhorn type adjustable rear sight. The barrel is marked with the two-line Remington factory address and with "SPRINGFIELD/30 CAL.1906" on the left side in front of the receiver. The right side of the receiver is marked with "REMINGTON," and "MODEL-720/42506" is on the left side. It is fitted with its original Remington matching factory bolt correctly stamped on the underside with serial number "42506". It has an American walnut stock with hand cut checkered panels on the sides of the pistol grip and forend, a set of factory sling swivels and a checkered steel buttplate. The left side of the stock is correctly stamped with a "Cross-Cannon" Ordnance cartouche followed by an unboxed "FJA" inspector's proof. This rifle does not include any shipping box or Navy release paperwork.

Excellent with 98% of the original factory blue finish overall and the bolt still in the white as polished by the factory. The stock is also in excellent condition with most of the original factory varnish finish showing several minor light nicks and dings on the sides of the stock in various areas, obviously from handing or poor storage. A really high condition and desirable Remington Model 720 sporting rifle.
