I'm not going to get into a pi$$ing match here. I'm never going to own a 710 unless someone hands me one for free. I've held more than one and I've never been impressed. Two different gunsmiths have told me their opinions also. They didn't much care for them either. Bic lighters work just fine, but they're disposable...like a 710. A Bic lighter costs less than $2.00. I don't mind throwing something away that costs so little after its been used up, but at $329.00, I don't find the 710 so inexpensive. Not when you consider what your getting for that money. Like I said, whatever floats your boat.
