Not sure how you came to that conclusion...That's like saying you put a million miles on your car but never changed tires on it or brakes on it or put gas in the tank the whole time. The machines used to make them would have to be replaced themselves in that 50 yrs of production, several times considering the millions of rifles made. Don't forget the 700 is just a "updated" 721 & 722 rifle, so add them rifles to the count too.
