Here is my Remington 710 in .270 Winchester. Quite a few modifications and a more powerful scope for longer rangeshooting if needed. Cottontails at 300(+) yards? No problem...
I've tried several types of ammunition from "El Cheepo" to "The Good Stuff" ($42 Box) and I've found out my "Cheap" rifle likes cheap ammo.
So far the best groups I've gotten at 100 yards is from Federals Fusion 130 grain. Most shots are within an inch of each other. 3 out of 4 shots usualy touching each other and staying within a 1/2" circle.
Not bad for a cheap gun. Why all the modifications you ask? I guess for the same reasons people who buy an $800 dollar rifle and modify it, do. Except I didn't spend another $800 modifying it. In fact, if my count is correct, I'm still way under $700.
I don't mean to offend, but why put all that on such a POS like the 710?
