Nobady has yet to explain to me why the 710 is such a piece of junk. I' ll admit that it' s not a high quality firearm. But I don' t think it' s piece of junk. My only complaint is that the bolt isn' t as smooth as I' d like. Is it that or the fact that you can' t change barrels or triggers, or maybe the fact that it only comes in 2 calibers that makes it piece of junk?

Mine shoots sub 1" groups with 2 differant ammos. Which is better than I can say for my boss' s 700. His groups are closer to 2" .

It' s uglier' n the north end of a south bound mule, but that' s fine for me. I don' t want a real pretty gun to hunt with. If I bang this thing up in the woods and swamps where I hunt, I don' t care. If it was a pretty gun, I' d be upset that I' d just dinged it. If money hadn' t of been an issue when I purchased it, I probably would have gotten a higher quality gun.

The only problem I' ve heard about is on some of the older ones, the safety had a problem. Remington sent out a recall notice and posted a link on their website to check serial numbers to find out if your gun was affected or not.

The Walmarts around here can' t seem to keep them in stock. When I bought mine, I had to call every Walmart in 3 counties to find one. Seems to be a pretty popular P.O.S.

I' ll get off my box now and see if someone will tell me exactly why it' s such an undesirable firearm.
