    They were probably my best selling guns in the store last year during hunting season. I have not been a big fan of the sleeved bolt and just the "cheap feel" of these guns but for the price it seems to fit for quite a few guys. This year Remington has changed to a extruded solid steel receiver for smoother bolt operation which will help drastically. The scope is a Bushnell Sharp Shooter 3x9x40 which is a cheapie. In this market area though for American made guns its either this or the Savage Package. Howa's arent mare here.

    Chuck,

    Pressed in barrel. There has already been one recall on them. Savages are threaded in...better deal too. Savage's are quite accurate right out of the box also.
    You will find a lot of stamped out parts on a Savage but, where it matters is where they put their money. -just my $.02

    We have the second amendment so that all the rest are secure....UNK>

    The problem with them to me beside whats been said is the fill they just fill like a plastic toy. If you tight on cash look at the Mossberg atr 100 I think they where 250 or under and put together a lot better.

    I'll second D@D's advise.
    Although I have no "hands on" experience with the Mossberg,I've heard nothing but good reports on it.

    My brother has two 710's.One .270 and one 30-06.
    I helped him get them sighted in and it took a box of shell to get'em even close.And yes,he's forgotten his "key" a couple of times already.
    Although he won't admit it,I can tell he's regretting ever buyin' them.[V]

    Have not been tempted by the Rem 710 but here is an alternative I can recommend. I'm looking at my Mossberg atr 100 purchased last December. They wasted no money on the synthetic stock on these rifles. The barreled action was not polished before application of a matte dark gray finish. That said this particular specimen in 270 win is a gem in terms of what really counts in the field...positive feeding and extraction, nice tight chamber, flawless bore and rifling to look at confirmed by very little copper fouling during cleaning. The trigger is on the heavy side (most of mine are properly adjusted M70 triggers or timneys). One of my handloads squeezed under an inch. For an inexpensive working rifle I am impressed.

    You'd be best off to put your money toward a new or used Rem 700, Savage, Howa or Marlin. Even the gun magazines were not too complementary of these for the very reasons the other guys have stated. Remington kind of washed their hands of the first edition but there are still some of the plastic sleeve guns roaming around. It was an attempt at competing with Winchester, Savage and Howa on their economy series. It just doesn't cut it. If they could have made them like they did the 788, they would have people beating their doors in. Find a good used 788, and you'd have an excellent gun as well. For the same price range new, it would have to be a Savage or a Howa(weatherby vanguard)
