Hey Mud, did you forget to put the screws back on when you took it apart?
I've had my 710 going on five years now, and so far it shoots very good when I do my part. Here is one of my last targets I used at 100 yards. If you want all the details view the post in the other forum I noted above.
Personally I think the rifle has had a bad rap due to the name/number designation. Because they gave it a number that was numerically higher, most people believed that it was a replacement or an upgrade from the 700, in all truth, though it does have some similarities, the rifle itself is completely different than the 700 or the model seven. If you look at the parts list and the schematics, you'll see that indeed they are very different. I think Remington should have maybe named it the 300 series in reference of the three bolt lug or the price (about $300), or maybe that it's only good for 300 uses befor you have to throw it away

.
Just Kidding.
Har Har Julio,
I've wasted enough space on this forum describing my 710 woes. I'm glad you like yours. I'm glad to be rid of mine. Just watch for wear on thebolt stop and be careful with themag latch.
