Thanks, blades! I won the rifle in 2013, not long after Mr. Norton passed. It is Winchester Model 70, has a Jewell trigger and a 30" Hart barrel. It came with an RPA "Trakker" rear sight and a variable front globe. Here is a thread that I started on this forum back in 2013 requesting any...

Years ago I won a wonderful old target rifle at an estate sale of the estate of a WWII vet who had been an avid target shooter. That man's name was James A Norton. The rifle was set up for an old style long tube target scope, but one was not included. It did come with a very nice target sight...

Thanks, guys. I probably erred in my title to this thread. I should have referred to FFP or SFP directly, because that is really the crux of the question. I really like the Bushnell Tactical scopes because they are made in Japan, reputedly at Light Optic Works (LOW). LOW makes lenses for a lot...

I'm looking at a 4.5-30 LRS Bushnell for small bore bench shooting at 100-200 yards. It is a SFP mildot reticle. Anyone have any thoughts on advantages of the FFP over the SFP in benchrest shooting? I'm thinking theSFP might be better as the reticle becomes finer at the higher powers, making...

Thanks guys...I'll post my targets from the matches that I shoot this in

I had fired it some with the sights a few years ago. I got it out and mounted the Lyman scope and took it to the match, thinking I would shoot it after the match. I had a problem with my Winchester 52B and couldn't finish the match, so I got this out to see if it would be competitive. I believe...

Yep, I think it has an old school charm with the Lyman external adjustment type scope. I was surprised how well the set up holds zero

Years ago I won a Mk V at an estate auction. It came with sights, but after shooting it a few times I put it away and never fired it much. Recently I began shooting a weekly smallbore match at my range...alternating weekly between 50 and 100 yards. This caused me to pull my smallbore target...

Thanks, glp. I'll be on the lookout for that extractor ring. Not sure who Gary Long is.

I'm sure you are right. Thanks, Mort

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

I'll post anything else I find out about this rifle, Mort. I sent some pictures and an email to Hart Barrels and asked if they could identify the rifle. I know they are probably busy, but a few years ago, Jim Hart took a bit of time and helped me identify a Hart barreled Winchester Model 70...

I bet he is right!

Boy, if I could get my old stock to look that good I would refinish it. Nice work, KC

I'm not able to take the rifle out of the stock at this time, but I was looking over the trigger and found two additional screws behind the trigger blade. Including the one in front of the trigger blade, that makes three screws inside the trigger guard and possibly one in front of the trigger...

I got a few better pictures of the action. The tang

So yours also has no model markings on it, like mine? Interesting all of the Model 722's I've seen are marked like this one the only marks on the bbl are these I'm not sure about the bottom...there is a shell slide in the action. Any way to follow up on this question? Whoever put...

Yeah, I can't fathom why there is no model number on the receiver. Are there any areas of the gun that I can post better pics of that might assist in ID'ing this rifle?

A few years back I glommed this rifle at an auction. It was described as a "custom" Remington rifle and it is surely that. What I would like to know is what exactly it is. It appears to to be a Remington 722 type action, but it shows no such marking under the Remington" stamping on the receiver...

Thanks, Eidolon! I'll post some range reports.
