[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 35177, member: 3"] On the 721 The safety is a little different as is the right side of the tang on the action (they can be retrofitted to 700 I believe). The bolt handle may not have the rearward sweep of the 700 and the stock may need inletting a little to make it fit (700 stock to a 721 action). The trigger is internally different (manufacturing materials). The 721 will probably be drilled and tapped for receiver sights (left side of the action) and it may be clip slotted for stripper clips. I'd take a good (nice shape) 721 over a 700 any day. The bottom metal on a 721 is throw away if you're going to restock the rifle. I use Badger or Dakota bottom metal on rebuilds so it's no problem for me. Replacement metal is the same as the 700. [ 08-14-2004: Message edited by: Dave King ] [/QUOTE]
