there is nothing wrong with the 710. i own one but i am a gun finatic. i own almost every brand gun that there is and the 710 is just a good as any of them. i have one in a .270 that ive had for 2 yrs now and it has the remington accuracy. I can shoot the stem off of a small pumkin easy at 100 yds. they are good gun, killed two deer with them and havent had a problem out of it. although i use a ruger no i am just as confident in the 710.
