Default RE: rem 700 adl or savage 110

ORIGINAL: Paul L Mohr

I have owned both and both worked great. I had a 110 E in the 80's I used to target shoot with. Never had a problem with it. It wasn't $170.00 either. That is one heck of a deal you were giving on them.

And I wasn't aware the Savages were imported? I thought they were made here, especially the 110 series. Where where they imported from?

Paul I do not intend to be misleading. When I say I sold lots of 110-E's. I meant that literally. I sold thousands of them. But please keep in mind I was selling for a wholeslaer, not a retailer. So if I was misleading there then I apologize. But I was not misleading about the return rate of the rifles. I do not doubt it when you say you gotgoodones. But the 110-E along with their over and under Rifle/Shotgun combo were the worst two firearms I sold. Especialy that combo. I rarely saw one that was regulated properly.

And you are correct the 110-E was not imported. If you reread my post I was saying that Savage imported a lot of different firearms over the years. Some were high quality, and some were not. In your defense I can remember when Savage imported the Tikka and Valmet over and unders, and I can remember whenSavage imported the Anschutz. All three of those firearms were very high quality. Especially thatValmet, it was a real beauty.

I do not have much experience with the Remington 710. I know two people who have one. Both are 30-06's. Both rifles shoot well(for them), 1inch to 1-1/2inch groups. They both like their rifles, and they liked the price. But they probably shoot a box of ammo every 2 to 3 years. Which IMO is who Remington marketed the rifle to. Tom.
