Enough said!

I have owned my 710 since they were first introduced. Paid only $325+tax for the money the gun cannot be beat. I looked at the savage that was in the same price range but it looked cheap right along with the price. I won’t kid anybody the 710 is a rifle for the cheaper end of the hunting market. This is why I purchased it, but like many others Ienjoy very accurate rifles and the 710 gives good groupings for any hunter that doesn’t rely on extreme shots. As I was looking for better accuracy I broke the rifle down to find the problem with my groupings that were on average 1-1.5". After finding were the stocks was rubbing the barrel and floating the barrel I have achieved .5" groups at 200yds with factory Federal ammunition. Unless you are a competition shooter that is a good enough group to soot even the pickiest of shooters. I have not had any problems with the bolt blowing back either though I have heard a lot on the boards I have kept a close eye when I am shooting and do not see any signs that might cause this to happen.

Aahhh, did I hurt your itty bitty feelings, with my sarcastic comments??? I apologize if I did. Here's a bighug for you. Feel better now?

I never said I didn't want you or any other person to join this forum, in fact it is quite the contrary. Please hang around and join in on the forum and I mean that most sincerely. This is a great place to get information and to learn something new everyday. Just a warning though, sometimes you have to have thick skin.

Hey one shot 1 wounded===== my son killed a buck today with the rifle you hate so much.... 300 yards and boom great 2 x 3 over here we count one side bet you never shot a blacktail...[8D][8D]

Was in the Bass Pro Outdoor World in Nashville yesterday and they had a Remington 770 out on one of the racks. The 770 replaced the 710 and improved on some of the features. The bolt was definitely easier to operate than the one on my 710. I think the 770 also weights more than the 710, but I don't know if that's good or bad. I do like the light weight of my 710. There wasn't a magazine in the rifle, but I worked the magazine release and I could tell it was a little beefier than the one on the 710.

Be blowing the dust off my 710 here shortly and taking it to the range to check the zero and get some practice. Also be taking my Springfield 1903 to see what I can do with it. I took it hunting last year, but didn't get a chance to take a shot. Hopefully get in the field a little more this year.

The 770 gets an A++

On ugly.........

Hey non-flyer, I never said they wouldn't kill deer, I just said that you knew more about deer hunting than you do about rifles. I haven't seen anything yet, to cause a retraction of that statement. Doesn't change to fact that the 710 is junk.

Congrats to you and your son, on what sounds like a great hunting trip. You are correct that I have never taken a blacktail, as they are not found here on the east coast or the mid-west. But I have taken 300+ whitetailshere in NC and in other parts of the US.

That'd make a pretty pile of backstraps..........

Just curious, but since you brought it up...what makes it so "ugly" compared to a synthetic stock Remington 700?

Reminton 770 compared to Remington 700.

Your junk!!! and just another simple Whitetail Hippie!!! All the shows on tele show feeded whitetail and then they get a kill. I bet your one of those!!!! Come to Oregon and try and shoot an elusive blacktail they eat at night and bed all Day the big ones anyway. But I'm sure (2 clips and a 1/2 a box) You and I mean You will never get this way. and if you did you might have too get out of your truck or stand for a minute BOO!!! HOO!!!!!!
