The all steel receiver on the new ones were put there to try to sell this turn to traditional sportsmen who belive that receivers should be made of metal. All the steel receiver does on the 710 is add more weight. The bolt actually cams into barrel, not the receiver on the 710- no pressure is put on the receiver due to firing.

For cheap, good, accurate, I'd get a stevens model 200, or better yet, its better big brother the savage 110.
