Very nice rifle.

Is that a left handed short action remington? I believe remington did not introduce the short action in left hand until fairly recently. But the checkering looks very 50's ish. I've seen that forend checkering pattern somewhere else (in fact I copied it on a Shilen 300 mag that I checkered for a friend back when I was trying to be a stock maker)...........found it. Kennedys book page 146. Leonard Mews Remington 721. Nearly identical pattern but the Mews is skip line.

Anyway, very interesting rifle. What is the caliber.

Thanks for posting.
