The remington 710 has been plagued with problems since it inseption. Granted they shoot pretty good, but can they handle the increased pressures that come with these magnums? The barrels are press fitted to the reciever, I don't like that. Also, I'm not sure, since I never researched the new gun before I started flapping my gums, but did they increase bbl length? If not, and it's still 22" is it not better just sticking with a .270 or 06? Even at 24", the big thumpers really do thrive with 26" of pipe. Unless you handload with a faster burning powder that is. That, and I'll never get over molded grey "plastic" stocks. But I'm just biased I guess. What I will give them, is there a great idea for remington lovers who are on a budget, Remingtons target market. And if your only going to shot it two or three times a year, go for it.
