If you are not familiar with the Remington model 720, the following is an excerpt from the NRA museum website: The Model 720A was produced between 1941 and 1944, with a total production of approximately 2500 rifles. Of these, nearly 1000, including the example seen here, were purchased in 1942 by the Navy Department and were awarded as trophies to winning Navy and Marine Corps personnel in a variety of competitions. These trophy guns can be identified by the Ordnance crossed cannon and inspector's proof marks on the stock. These rifles would never see combat service; instead, they spent the war in storage at the Navy's Crane, Indiana Ammunition Depot. There they would remain, until an order for their destruction as surplus property was issued in 1963. Fortunately, Major Kam Hayden, U.S.M.C., who had just finished a tour as commander of the Marine Corps Marksmanship Training Unit at Quantico, Virginia, heard about the proposal to destroy these rifles. Maj. Hayden suggested that they be awarded as trophies to top Navy and Marine Corps competitive shooters. This plan was approved, and beginning in 1964, the Model 720 was designated as the "Secretary of the Navy Trophy." The rifles were divided between the Navy and Marine Corps to be awarded to winners at the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, and at various divisional and inter-service matches.
