Well, my 710 has put meat on the table again. My son shot his deer with my 710 tonight. It might be a cheap piece of crap, but after shooting all of my guns today, the "cheap piece of crap" still outshoots all of my other more expensive higher quality guns and was the gun of choice for my son tonight.

Why do you keep telling us not to show up at your deer hunting camp? And what would be so bad about somebody showing up at your camp with a 710? Is it not flashy enough for you? Are you guys modeling your guns up there or something? And how does your deer hunting camp have anything to do with this thread anyways? The thread was started to get the opinion of the gun and well, my 710 has been a good one and that does have something to do with the thread. And my son being able to get a deer with the gun is pretty much why they made the gun isnt it? Geez, I have tried to stay the debate in this thread because I do realize that the 710 isnt the flashiest or highest quality of gun. I realized that when I bought it. But the gun is and has been of good enough quality to put meat on the table without breaking the bank. It is not a gun that I would take on a 20 mile elk hunt hike, and it is not a gun that I would rely on to go big game hunting. But it is a good enough gun to do exactly what I bought it for and that is shooting a deer at ranges up to 100 yards, which it has done well for 2 years in a row now. Works for me. Just dont expect me to show up at your deer camp with it, lol. [8D]

MM, give it a break! I agree with you, I just bought a Savage and I am completely impressed. Haven't had a chance to shoot yet, but I am expecting good things. I truly think this rifle will be around 60 years from now and one of my kids or grandkids will be shooting it. After handling the 710, I wouldn't say the same for it.

But..........if someone wants to buy one, more power to them. Are they ethical hunters? Are they safe hunters? Are they trying to pass these things down to their kids, or the neighbors kids for that matter? Now these are the things that matter, not what gun they shoot.

And frankly, I wouldn't show up in you deer camp for fear that my POS boots might get meran right out of camp.

Seriously, why would you tell someone to "Rot in Hell", because they think/reason a little different than you.

By the way, 560 posts in a month, that's almost averaging 20 posts a day. You need to get off the puter and do some shootin. Maybe get rid of some of that unnecessary hate.

560 posts in a month, lol, get a life.

I am very sorry for the loss of your friend. I am sure everyone here feels the same way.

Geez, "Rot in Hell"? And 500+ posts in a month? How do you even have time to have a "Deer Camp" if you are on the computer all the time? I am truly sorry for your friend and I wish the best for his family. And you know something? If I the Savage had been available in my area when I purchased my Remington 710 then I may have bought one of those instead, but it wasnt and honestly after looking at one last weekend and holding it up to my shoulder that has been operated on twice the Savage just doesnt fit me. I bought what worked for me and am glad that I have one of the good ones. It just seems that there are a few lemons out there and these forums are exploiting that fact. Magnum Man, cant you just be happy that a few of us have not had problems with our POS 710's?

I would never consider using a Savage under normal circumstances. If I was forced to choose between a Savage and a Remington 710, I'd cry as I walked away with the Savage.
