I have been reading this forum for a few weeks and i kinda wanted a "project gun" so i decided to go with a cheaper gun that was decently accurate so i decided to go with the 710. I have found that with a good scope the only thing really wrong with the gun is the bolt and a few plastic parts.

SO i brought my 710 to a gun smith friend of mine and he did a few things to it telling me he smoothed out the bolt and replaced 2 plastic parts in it. I usually tend not to ask questions, kinda gets pointless cause he knows alot more than me.

Anyway the bolt is smoother but nothing like most other guns.

Well my question is to all who know is how many 700 30-06 rifle parts match up to the 710 30-06. Im really only interested in the stock cause i hate the grey. i have considered painted it and would rather not mess it up but can not find any aftermarket parts to the gun.

Does anyone know where can get any parts for my 710 or if any other guns will match up to it.

Please let me know and thank you.
