It's all luck of the draw. My P.O.S. 710 will out shoot my boss's 700BDL. My main gripe with my 710 is with the bolt. God help you if you ever need to make a quick follow up shot with it, you'll probably end up with the bolt in one hand and the rest of the rifle in your other. I'll keep the P.O.S. until I shoot the barrel out or it falls in a deep part of the swamp, but I'll never buy another one. It's definately not one Remington's finest firearms.
