[QUOTE="Tim Sharp, post: 3086777, member: 107251"] The 722 and 721 are great rifles and are the grandfathers to the 700. In fact, the bolt patterns and the triggers are the same (except the safety lever). The barrels and receivers are rust blued and rumored to made from surplus WWII "ordnance" steel. The rear bridge, like the earlier 700's, is .017 lower than a post 1974 700, so when using newer scope rings the rear will need to be shimmed. The bolts are chrome lined making them much slicker than a 700. Obviously, most were hand built due to the manufacturing processes at the time. The original stock has considerable drop at the comb and are made for use with iron sights. The foot print is the same as a 700; however, if the rifle is restocked the bolt cut will need modification. [/QUOTE]
