[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1263665, member: 77249"] Another thing if you get the 721 is check and replace the Firing Pin Spring. The last 721's and 722's were built in about 1962 or 63. I inherited my dad's 722. It did not shoot worth crap and the firing pin would back up and it would allow the firing pin to back into the bolt piercing the primer and smoke came through the bolt. A short action 700 firing pin spring and it went back to 3/4 and less groups. And no more pierced primers. Good Luck and Be Safe if you get it. [/QUOTE]
