Quit crying. The post you quoted from me was pointed at you and anyone else who cared to read it. That's what forums are for.
You're obviously the most experienced and worldly fella here, so we can shut down the boards and just e-mail you with our questions. That would be so much easier.

No, it does NOT have an R3 recoil pad. It has a rather thick, solid rubber recoil pad, which I replaced last year with an R3 to further lesson the recoil of the Managed Recoil loads that we shoot so that my daughter will have to deal with as little recoil as possible. You can buy an R3 pad that fits the 710 - just remove the two screws that hold the original one in place and install the R3 with the same screws.

I spend a lot of time breaking the news to customers that their recently aquired 710 can't be repaired. However,after working with one for a couple of hours last week, Idid find ausefull and inexpensive improvement for 710's.
Fill the hollow butt stock with lead, then drill a half inch hole through the center of the butt to pass the anchor line through. It should make a usefull &interesting conversation piece on any bass boat.

And let me guess, next you tell them you just happen to have acquired a rifle that you can give them a great deal on....
Strange, isn't it, that all these 710s that fall into pieces only show up in the stories of "experts" who don't care for the product? Where are all the actual owners with horror stories of "unrepairable" rifles? They don't seem to have posted their stories here or other places according to a brief Google search.

I don't sell guns except those that I build.
And the reason you don't hear aboutmost ofthe 710hard luck stories is, the owners are too embarrassed to tell the story. Especially after everyone told them not to buy the gun to begin with.
However you do hear some owner stories. Look back at some of the posts on this site. The best one is the rifle with the broken plastic trigger guard. No big deal right? Yeah right! The trigger and trigger guard are part of the stock and the gun wouldn't fire anymore.
