Have you ever actually owned and used a 721 or 722 and had all those problems with it, or are you just quoting something you believe to be the case?
Like many others here, I've used a 722 for a long time -- 25+ years -- and have never ever had a single problem with it. My Ruger 77 tang safety rifles also lock the bolt on safety -- and for someone who actually knows how to handle a rifle -- that's not a problem either.
