To me it would be a good deal. Never had a 722 but my stepdad left me his 1948 model 721 in .270 Win. I thought it was a great gun. I have already given it to my son and hope he does the same.
I've had several different model Remington rifles (700 BDL, model 7, 700 LTR) and I would pick the 721 first for hunting. Really miss that gun.
