RE: Remington 710...junk? I think not...
The 710 will work for what its intended for, but is in no way well made. I've handled one in a gunshop once and was completely unimpressed. The bolt was very hard to close and was not smooth at all. The gun is ugly as sin in its elcheapo stock- though I'm not sure a decent stock, synthetic or otherwise would made it look any better. I have a whole rack of <$100 milsurps that are far better made.
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?
