I got a 710 in 243 caliber which i think just recently came out if i am not mistaken. the bolt on mine is pretty rough. one time at the range i couldn't even open the bolt to reload. i replaced the cheap bushnell scope with a better quality silver bushnell scope. it is dead on at 200 yds now. my opinion on the gun is that if you don't use it too much then you get what you paid for. if it is your primary weapon i would consider another one. i shot an 8 pt. buck with it. it did it's job and i am happy for that. now as in the quality of the gun, i don't think it will last long if you use it year round. spend at most $100 more and get either a howa package or the savage package. also get a cheaper priced mossberg 100 atr rifle and set it up with a awesome scope.
