  Short answer is yes, it is possible to put a 722 action in a 700 BDL stock. I have one but didn't do the work so don't know what all is involved. The only obvious modification is a small sliver of wood removed where the safety is to allow the safety to move. Mine was also rebarreled to 250 Savage. Great little rifle and sure looks better in the 700 BDL stock than in an original 722.

  IDRACCA,
  
  The M722 is basically the M700 but with stamped sheet metal for a trigger guard. The M700 uses a complete bottom metal/trigger guard/magazine box assembly in the 'BDL' version. These are available from Brownells, Midway and several aftermarket parts makers.
  
  This is an article describing the bedding process for the Remington M700 complete with photographic illustration:

  This is a .pdf of the same article but you can download it, save it and print it out for reference:
