Remington 710?

[mavwreck1975]

Anyone had any experience with this rifle? Is it accurate? Reliable? How does it compare to the Mossberg ATR?

In all honesty you would have topay "me" to buy one! I believe there are MUCH better rifles for the money. I really think the 710sare a piece of junk!

Do yourself a favor and for about the same money, buy a Stevens 200, Remington ADL or a Marlin 336 lever action. Believe me you'll have a MUCH better rifle. In my opinion, Remington should be ashamed to have ever built the 710.[:'(]

Don't do it. You'll get just as much pleasure from sticking your toe in a fan. And that don't cost a nickel.
