I bought a 1953 "B" model 722 (high grade wood and checkering) in .222 a while back and although it's a little heavy with its 26" barrel it still shoots like crazy; five shots in less than 1/2" with Sierra's 40 gr B/king at 3400 fps. The extra weight helps steady your hold sorta like a heavy barrel.
As far as extractors go, you can find them on G/broker from time to time.
