My first centerfire rifle was a 722 in 257 Roberts and it is still my favorite. I bought it in 1959 from a gunsmith friend who I worked for at his range when I was not working for my dad or other farmers. Minimum wage was 50 cents an hour at the time. Roy Vinson, the owner, had built this for his wife. Later I re-blued it and refinished and checkered the stock. I have shot more whitetails and muleys with it than you would believe and loaded 87 g bullets and shot varmints in the off seasons.

I have a couple of 721's in 30-06 that I bought because I thought they were just too cheap to pass up. I had a .222 Rem in a 721 that was stolen out of my truck in Reno NV back in '66. They hold a special place in my heart and my safe.
