RE: Rem. 722
The 722 is the short action.....I have a Remington 721 in 300 H&H......and it's a superb shooting and functioning rifle. The 722 in 222 is famous for accuracy....it's a very fine gun and should be looked after.
The stocks were not well designed for scope use and the later model 700 took care of that.
IMO that rifle is somewhat of a collectors piece.
