I'll agree that the 710 is uglier'n the South end of a North bound mule, and not built real well. However mine does shoot real well. I shoot sub 1" groups at 100yrds with Federal premium HE ammo. For what I use this gun for, it's perfect. I hunt in swamps and the gun has a tendancy to get banged around and on occassion, dunked in the water. I haven't had a problem with the magazine falling out and the only time the bolt has come out is when I didn't get the locking lever pushed down all the way.
