[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2337679, member: 24284"] 721s are NOT a drop-in for 700 stock. The area around the safety lever is different and the bolt handle is straight. not swept like a 700 is. These are old production. The new CNC made are much straighter, overall. I have not handled a 700 made since the Roundhill Group acquired RemArms, but I understand even the extraction timing problem has been addressed. If you use a 721 for a build, expect to pay more because of the needed modifications, unless of course the metal is going into hand fitted wood. And, as noted above, replacement extractors are rare. Having an M16 style installed would be my best suggestion. Using an obsolete action for a modern build would be my last choice. [/QUOTE]
