RE: REMINGTON 710
One of my buddies bought one this fall and I got to sight it in for him. I kinda liked the looks of it, then I cycled the bolt for the first time and I was terribly diassppointed. Then I shot it around 20 times, my best group was 3" at 100 yards with this rifle, with 3 different kinds of factory ammo. I bet those groups would be cut in half with a decent scope (his is the cheap bushnell that it came with from the factory).
I know I would never buy one. I have 2 completely stock rifles that I use and both of 'em (with handloads) will put bullets touching each other at 100 yards. Then again both have high quality optics, and lighter triggers (ones a Browning A-bolt and the other is a Tikka T3.
