Well....yeah, I agree, but the original poster was not talking about building a battery of 710 rifles, just ONE!
The same arguement has gone on forever. Back in the 1960s, when Winchester sold out and began turning out real junk. Most riflemen swore off Winchester. Later, Winchester built some quality back into their rifles, but the funny thing is, you can still find those "cheap" ones, getting the job done every year, bringing home the game. Regardless of the quality of the stock or plastic trigger guard, if the rifle functions, then the most important nut in the piece is the nut behind the butt!!
