I don't know why everyone keeps bringing up the 710. Of all the rifles Remington makes the 710 is the cheapest piece of crap they make. Why not compare a Savage to a 700 or a 7600 or a model 7? I own both types of rifles and have never had an issue with either brand. Remington and Savage both make quality rifles. I lean more to Remington because they are made in the USA not Canada like Savage.
