RE: remmington model 710
Tell me more of this happiness xd9x19! I mean this sincerely. I am looking at a second rifle and I am looking at all affordable options. I have heard nothing but negativity from this site on the 710 and no owners reviews. I have owned 2 different remingtons and were happy with the operation of both of them, I have a hard time believing that remington would continue to produce and sell an inoperable, innacureate rifle. WHat are your experiences with this model? EJ

Look at the Ruger M77 MK II, Walmart sells them for about $450. They are great guns for the money and the intrical rings and bases are one of the best designs out there. My Rugers and all of my friends and families Rugers are all very accurate. My 300 WSM will shoot a .5" at 100 yards. Ruger also has very good customer service.

Target 1
Target 2
If I could change one thing about the 710, it would be the effort it takes to close the bolt. It's a little stiff when trying to close and that may be due to the lock-up system that it uses. I can't speak to things like trigger pull and the supposedly pressed-barrel design (as opposed to a threaded barrel that can be changed if you should shoot so much as to wear it out).
I get to deer hunt maybe 12 days a year and I wasn't willing to spend $750 to $1000 for a rifle and scope that I would not shoot very often. I looked at a Savage 100 or 111 package gun before I bought my 710, but I preferred the rounded forearm of the 710 to the more squared-off stock of the savage.
If you've got any questions in particular, post them or send me a PM.
