I looked at one of the new Remington 710 rifles at Walmart the other day. It is the one with the all steel receiver and has no synthetic insert. The bolt was really smooth and probably get even smoother with use. I like the short throw of the bole and the stock isnt bad either. I also like the magazine fed design for quick loading.I had one of the older ones in 30-06 and it was extremely accurate as well as a friends rifle in the same caliber. His would put 3 shots in an inch at 100 yards with factory winchester 165 powerpoints. The price was only 329.00 with the Bushnell scope. I know this scope isnt the most expensive but mine was accurate and clear and didnt fail me after many rounds. They have the full size in .270,30-06, 300 magnum, and 7mm magnum. They also have a new shorter youth model in .243. I may get one in .270 or .243. Its really not that bad. You should check it out next time you see one.
