[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 413300, member: 16954"] Its a great rifle the M721. That being said, I just sold mine. The stock has a lot of drop in the heel and comb. Scoping one means stay away from big objectives like the 50mms. It can be tough to get a good cheek weld if you do. Felt recoil with that much drop goes up too. They are great guns, but by modern standards they need a modern stock. Retro-fit a M700 stock and all will be well. Be careful of the extractors too. Sticky bolt lift during load work-up is a no-no. The extractors are no longer available, and the M700 extractors don't fit. A Sako conversion will fix that, if yours has no collector value. [/QUOTE]
