Well, I have to agree that the 710 and 770 leaves something to be desired... but that is my opinion only.
I've seen 710's shoot just as well as a 700! I don't understand how the public will love one model and hate another, just on merits of its construction... I mean if your going to dislike the 770.... how can you love a Tikka? That ought to get the flames big. hehehe
By the way, big green has dropped the spr line. Remington can make junk just as well as our european friends can, no need to import it.lol
In its element, the 770 is a great rifle! People seem to think that quality is equated with cost. Sometimes true but not the rule of thumb.
Our bluing guy was badmouthin' one of the other employees Stevens 200... this went on for months. Well low and behold, come range day, quess who got their a$$ handed to them?? That kid with the Stevens put a woopin' on ol' Remington 700 guy.
We try not to let ol' Bart forget it either.hehehe We love you Bart.
