You made a wise choice . Outhouses are for taking a crap , the rest of the time you do your business in the garden . My wife worked on an amish farm , we do not frequent their stands any longer .

I don't understand how a person can't be prepared . Maybe it's a frozen North thing, but I could not imagine not being able to survive at least a month with what I have in storage...and it gets 30...

Very nice rifle, what a beauty.
I did not realize you can age a 722 by the serial number ? I thought, like the 700s the date code was stamped on the barrel ? I always like learning about these...

Good to see this news, always been a fan of the 870s .
Ithaca Model 37 20 gauge my folks gave me for my 14th birthday 1975 , shot a lot of grouse and trees with that gem .
