What about a used gun, in good condition. I started out with a 760 308, it worked real well for me. I then went to 7600 270, both were used guns in prem. condition. Since then I have evolved to higher end guns and bolts, but would never rule out buying a used good condition bolt. Many guys buy guns for 1 or 2 boxes a year, so getting them even 20 years old they still have plenty of life, eventually you can rebarrel if needed or make a custom to shoot how you want it.

I personally don't like the looks, finish or feel of the 710 and given the choice the ADL would be mine. However guns are personable, if they fit and feel ok in both price and actual then who really cares what I or anybody else thinks!!!!
