Now that the auction is completed, I am curious what you all think of this and did you see what I think I might have seen.

Rem 720

Thanks,
John

I think it has an adjustable trigger not mentioned in the auction description.

Other than the oddly shaped cheekpiece, the curly maple, checkering and stock lines look like Hal Hartley's work.

I'm not too bright, but how about a Hartley gun with a set trigger? I didn't see a price, but I like it. I hope my guess doesn't embarrass me.

I suspect that the Canjar set trigger was added later.

Hartley was one of my two guesses. I've not seen a lot of his work, but his style and quality did seem to vary considerable.

eightbore. No embarrassment here. I recall Michael admitting to jumping to some conclusions that later turned out to be erroneous.

Pretty sure the trigger is a Canjar, but I don’t think that is the most interesting thing.

So far, I'm two for two. I would like to take that barreled action out of the wood and look for a maker's stamp. I only have one maple gun, a John Oberlies Model 92 Winchester in 25-20 Winchester. Sweet little gun.

The 720 sold for $1500. Enlarged, the trigger looks like it may be an Ace trigger shoe over the stock trigger. The next 720 in the sale shows the two set screws common to the Ace shoe.

Just to clarify, I did not win the rifle. I put a modest bid on it just in case it slipped through under the radar. Regarding the trigger, canjar set or trigger shoe, don't really care, that was really not the thing I found interesting about the rifle. I have quite a collection of those stupid shoes that I have taken off of rifles if anyone wants one.

I actually had another maker in mind other than Hartley. However Hartley is as good a guess as any. Hopefully the new owner is a member here.
