The Remington 710 is junk! You may get a good one, you may get a piece of trash, that is not worth it's weight in scrap iron! With the Remington 710, it will probably be "not worth it's weight in scrap iron!" A new Savage, probably doesn't cost much more than the 710, and will be 10 times the gun the 710 is! The quality, and quality control of the Remington 710 is horrible! You would probably do as good just picking ANY used rifle off the rack, as to buy a new 710!
