RE: model 710
I have a 710 in 30-06. To have one to hunt with in the rain and just throw in the truck, it's ok. I paid about $260 for the package with scope, etc.
I've heard a lot of gripes about the 710 but mine works well. No bolt or trigger problems. It ain't the best in the cabinet.
My nephew hunts with my Savage 110 in .270, he's 14 and it suites him well.
