The 710 is a joke. The 700 is a REAL action unlike the 710 which has a plastic sleeve that the bolt rides on. I' d personally buy a ruger but hey millions of 700 owners can' t be wrong.
The 710 is junk. Go with the 700 ADL and you will not be sorry. If you are trying to save $$ and still want an inexpensive and reliable shoot, look at the Savage M-111. The Savage' s are great shooters and will not break the bank.

I' ll be the disenting vote here...Go for the 710...I have one in 270 and I love it. My sister has one in 30-06 and she loves hers too. Granted the actions aren' t silky smooth but what do expect from a gun that was designed to affordable for beginners and us poor folk. Mine shoots sub 1" groups at 100yds with either 150gr Remington CoreLokts or 140gr Federal Premuim HE trophy bonded bear claws. Not bad for " a P.O.S."
