[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2617296, member: 77249"] I have been down that road with my Dad's Rem. 722. First thing Check the firing pin spring. In this 722 the crater from the firing pin strike in the primer was backing up and some shells the crater blew back into the bolt and smoke and fire came out of the action. In the few shots I shot 2" groups at 100 yds. was the best it would do. Chronograph was going crazy. A gunsmith friend and I Replaced the firing pin spring, This rifle went back shooting 3/4" at 100yds. like it did in 1960. With its Weaver K4. The 721 and 722 rifles was discontinued in about 1963-4, When the Rem. 700 replaced them. In that era 130-150 gr. were the go too bullet. [/QUOTE]
