I work at a gun store where we also do gunsmithing, so I see what kinda problems certain guns have. I do see the there semi auto rimfire rifles do have a lot of problems, and I feel that the 710 is absolute junk, but havent seen many problems with there bolt action rifles and there shotguns. (well, I know that the remingtons have poor trigger pull in there rifles and stick sometimes, but other than that, not too bad) I rarely see there shotguns in the shop. I have an 870 from the early 90' s and never needed it serviced. Just like with the tasco company, the low end products make a bad name for the company (believe it or not, the higher end tascos were excellent IMO) but there cheaper scopes run em outta business....Luckily Bushnelle picked ' em up.
