Is this a reliable gun? I was hoping to dump the 710 and get this gun.

yeah i hear that the semi-autos jam a lot and that the pumps are more accurate than the semis. that's why i am considering the 7600 and plus the fact that i am a lefty and that i can shoot left handed on this rifle. i also like the way it looks.

RE: remington 7600?
A few years back (well more than a few now that I think about it) my wife bought me a Rem. 7600 oump in .35 whelen for Christmas. Yhat made the gun special enough for me. Then the first fall I huntd with it I shot a Typical B&C book,white-tail buck with it. I have just shot rem. factory ammo from it and it is not a "tack driver" but plenty accurate for hunting big game with.

RE: remington 7600?
I am too a lefty and as a result the 760 series was whatI cut my teeth on for a big game rifle. Have owned3and still own the first one I bought 7600/270win. They all have been very dependable guns and the 270 shoots exceptional. All mine were plenty accurate for hunting. 7600 is never a bad choice IMHO.
That said youreally owe it to yourself to try aleft handed bolt! I thinkyou'll be hooked, I knowI am.
Good Luck

You mentioned the 710 and I assumed...sorry.[&:]
I think you'll like the 7600.Other options for something different: Lever or if at all interested in an Auto- Browning BAR's.
Good Luck
