Give what time? There is only the one recall (for only a few months of production) listed on the Remington web site and I can find no others by using a quick Google search. I have received no recall information and I bought my 710 almost 4 or 5 years ago. Maybe you've encountered more issues with the 710 than other rifles....that may only mean there's a lot more of them out there. I was told by a salesman at one point that they sold probably five 710s for every Savage 110 for probably no other reason than the Remington name, so even with a relatively equal rate of problems, you're going to necessarily end up with more 710s in the shop due to the numbers being sold.

The problems encountered by ONE person working on them are no more of an indication of reliability than ONE owner telling of his experience.

I simply state my experience with the product. I have had no problems with it and have no reason to tell someone it's a piece of junk. Unlike just about everybody else who has posted on this thread, I have actually used the rifle in the field, shot 100+ rounds through it over several years, and my son just bagged a rather modest 4-point buck yesterday morning. It hasn't failed to do anything a rifle costing hundreds of dollars more would do. It is what it is - an inexpensive, entry-level rifle that performs as designed. You don't pay for a super slick action, fancy wood and a bunch of bells and whistles that add nothing to the overall functionality of the rifle. It works and that's all it needs to do.

Most of the opinions on the 710/770 are nothing more than opinions based on someone's brief handling of the firearm or the fact that it "feels" cheap or is "ugly", both of which have absolutely nothing to do with how the rifle actually performs. These are probably the same kind of folks who made fun of Glocks back in the 80s as "tupperware" or who thought synthetic stocks weren't put on "real" guns.
