Accuracy is good to excelent for hunting. Mind you, it's not a sniper/tacticalrifle nor does it claim to be. Chuck Hawks has an excellent site for just about anything regarding shooting, hunting, etc. Check it out. If you want to see what type of accuracy a 710 is cabable of check out my post in the "Firearm Review Forum" under "Remington 710 Stock". The only real problem I have is the Locking of the bolt to fire a round. It does is difficult sometimes. I've tried polishing it to smooth it out, but It seems that it has more to do with the combination of the three locking lugs,spring tension and bolt lock position groove. If one looks at it closely, the bolt is pulled forward as its locked in position. If one pushes the bolt forward past the spring tesion and locks the bolt, it slides right in. I'm looking to see if I can remedy this.
