One of the early experts, sorry I could not find the quote and I think it was Jack Connor, stated that the Remington 722 was the best commercial bolt action rifle ever built. The quote came from a Gun digest Annual around 1973.

When i got my 722 the trigger was terrible. My Gunsmith/barrel maker List took about 5 minutes to adjust the trigger. It now is the best trigger on any of my rifles.

I have been shooting my 722 for over 30 years. I had it re-barreled for 257 Roberts. The price seems a little high. If you can get the price down a little, and it has not been trashed I would buy it.
