I hate to sound like typical Magnum_Man, but the 710 is a terrible rifle, I had a friend who owned one and he shot it alot, the gun was no longer useable after 1 season, apparently, some internal parts snapped on the bolt, and the cheap stock started to crack something terrible. IMHO get the Savage Package rifle, it can be ordered from Wal Mart for about 30$ more, it will last a lot longer and probably shoot a lot better.
