RE: model 710
Have you ever heard the old saying "Ya get whatcha pay for."? Thats the 710 in a nut shell. If you want a gun he can get use to shooting, get something like a Model 7 youth gun or a Ruger youth model. The 710 is a POS that has a junkyard trigger and a sloopy bolt. The 700 model has well made it's mark for being an outstanding firearm. They took a left turn on the 710.
