One thing I'd check before buying is the extractor. If the extractor breaks it's sometimes difficult to find a replacement, and you either have to have a different type of extractor fitted, or replace the entire bolt with Remington 700 short-action bolt. Both work but add considerably to the price.
A 722 .257 with a price tag around $300 sat in a local store several months last year, because the extractor was broken. Somebody finally bought it, apparently deciding they could get around the problem somehow.
John,
I'm curious as to the cost to change to a Sako type extractor? I pondered that before I sold my 722 257 Roberts.
Are they as dangerous as Butch Lambert maintains?
