Now stalkingbear, is that really needed?? I sold my 710 last spring (btw,It shot great and never gave me a problem), I have a Mossberg 100ATR in .308 that I use because I wanted a wooden stockin arifle for under $450. BTW, I love it. Anyhow to the others, thanks for the reply's I am trying to decide between the Tikka T3 hunter, Savage 14 classic or a Rem 700 SPS ifI decide to go synthetic.
