In my last post I said if your 710 shoot great injoy it. I was just saying for the same money you can get a better gun thats all. I own 3 remmington 700 bdl and would not trade them for any thing remmington makes a great gun they just miss on this on just my .02 cents. but they are a lot of people that think this way about the 710 do a search for diff. thread and see what they say. again injoy your 710 and as someone that knows the salemen would be the last person to listin to you would be lucky if he ever shot a gun at the range or any place else for that matter.
