RE: New Remington 710 rifle
When Remington first came out with the 710 I had a few customers that wanted one. Every one of those 710's went back to Remington for repairs. They had problems with the slide inserts, bolt latch, safety switch, magazine release. Remington had fixed them, but they still had problems with them. Maybe the newer ones are better who knows. They were the most problem guns I ever had in my store. Never ordered them again. How one person told me they make good boat anchors. You get what you pay for.
For all you Walmart shoppers. Why don't you support your local gun shops that's what there in business for not some big chain store that once the product leaves the front door especially firearms. If something goes wrong it is your problem. Hell could freeze over before I would buy from Walmart. A friend of mine had bought a scope from Walmart that was on sale. Sale price was $49.95 MSRP price was $49.99 big sale. He took it back and I had sold him that same scope for $35.00. Distributor price on that scope was $23.00.
Another example: I had a ruger 96/22 in my store for $235.00 a customer came in looked at my price and told me he would get it cheaper at Walmart. He had stopped in a couple of days later bragging that he bought that 22 cheaper. I looked at his recept he actually paid $276.00 for the same gun. Big stores are not always cheaper. There I said my peace.
