I have a 710 that's currently in pieces. After three years of shooting and hunting - with good success - the rifle started falling apart. First, the bolt stop failed and during a class I took last fall the bolt came out during an excersize and hit me in the chin. Painful and embarrasing. Next, I lost the threads on a scope rail screw. Managed to live with the first problem and fix the second in time for last hunting season in which I drew a great Elk tag. First day out the mag latch broke. Had to load the rifle from the top and couldn't get the mag out until I was back home. The good news is I dropped a nice 5x5 at 300 yards with one shot. The gun does shoot. But then I looked into replacing the mag latch, which should be a $2 part. Turns out Remmy doesn't sell the piece seperately, gotta buy the whole stock at $95.A local gunsmith is trying to the get the company to replace the stock under warranty for me. That's been two months ago, and no word back. Meanwhile, I've bougt a new rifle. It's not a Remmington. I'll use the 710 as a backup if I ever get it back together and shootin' straight again. Or maybe I'll trade it for a box of ammo....
