RE: remington model 710????
If a person is an occasional hunter/shooter and when the season is over they put their gun away until the next year then the 710 may be ok. I'm a big Remington fan but in all honesty i've never shot the 710 so i can't personally say it's junk other than what i've heard and the reviews i've read. I do know people who have shot them and handled them and i've never heard anything positive about the gun but i have heard some say they shoot ok. I personally wouldn't buy one after all the negative reviews i've seen and read. If you're only considering Remington then i'd look at the Model 700 ADL because if price is an issue there's not that much difference in price or at least around here there isn't.
