ORIGINAL: bigbulls

Definetly the Savage!!!!!!

The 710 is junk. It has plastic sleves for the bolt to ride in the receiver and the barrel is press fit into the receiver rather than threaded like it should be. The stock has got to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen on a rifle. Cutting corners like this only serves to bring down an otherwise good company.

I cannot emphasize enough how excellent the savages shoot!!! I own 2, and both shot around an inch out of the box!!! As far as the scope, not much to say, they are cheap, but on my 7mm rem mag savage, after 3 boxes of shells, I had to replace the scope mounts because I actually BENT the screws that hold the rings to the gun. Save yourself some headache, and dont get the package. You may want to get just the gun, and get a good set of rings, bases and scope with it. Just my opinion.
