the 710 is not the 700 series your thinking of. i have a 710. i wonder if i could send it back i dont really like it that much.
I saw this first hand in Deer camp last year. I'm sure he had the 700 series, He was showing us his rifle in camp, ( unloaded, Thank God) and when he opened and shut the bolt it fired on anempty chamber. Good thing he had another rifle to use. That was the first time I heard anything bad about Rem.
I didn't mean to start anything and I know that this has nothing to do with that particular recall on the 710. Some of the guys in camp said that they had heard of this problem with that Mod. (700)in the past.I guess I was wondering if Rem. recalled any 700's with this problem, firing buy just closing the bolt. And on this gun the trigger was not modified in any way. The guy was the original owner.
