[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 130848, member: 2011"] Tim, I got it second hand from an acquaintance more than 30 years ago. He didn't like the way it shot and I wanted something that duplicated the feel of my 721 '06 to use for practice etc. I got her shooting "good enough for me". The 26" barrel makes it a bit 'slow' for close running coyote shots. (The darn thing won't run in a straight line....) The 721 is now a 270 AM single shot. The 722 is camo'd for winter walk & stalk. I've been playing with light bullets and 10X powder and have not lost accuracy but have gained a bunch of velocity. Just kind of messin' around with it. I mostly use 52/55 gr bullets and enough 4198 to get in the low 3s for velocity. [/QUOTE]
