I will have to say I personally don' t like the 710 either. Starter gun? What the heck does that mean? Most people I know still have their first deer guns and are still able to use them if needed. Most guns last a lifetime, but the 710 is a throw away.

To address the magazine reviews on the 710. When was the last time you ever saw a bad reveiw of any firearm in the GUN magazines? They are paid to publish good things about their sponsors guns, not negatives. If you are happy with yours then whatever we say doesn' t matter anyway.
