you know im glad soo many people sound here, are so open to new guns, it makes me think that the industry has a future other than what is produced today.
the remington 710 is a rifle built for someone intersted only in hunting and not in shooting all that much. the one box of ammo a year people. for them this is all they need. some people cry out: the barrel in pushed into the receiver so you can never change the barrel, well for the people that dont shoot much this is a non-issue. the acton is rough some say, well if you want to have someone polish it up nice and slick have a gunsmith do it.
the took all these cuts to try and make the rifle as affordable as possible, and 1.5" groups at 100 is definatly good enough accuracy to hunt with out to 200 yards.
i say if that is all you need consider getting one, also consider the savage made firearms as they are also a cheap guns, but they are probably a better choice, and usually more accurate.
