The 710 is a downright POS, while the 700 is a fine hunting rifle

RE: Rem 700 or 710
 

The 700 is a nice firearm. The 710 was discountinued due to the fact that it was junk. The 770 does not look very good either.

RE: Rem 700 or 710
 

Go with the 700 if you don't want to spend as much cash look for a ADL instead of a BDL. Walmart had the ADL's on sale right before Christmas for $300.00 and remington had a $30.00 dollar rebate on them. ADl's are great guns minus the finish, and hingled floor plate. Aparently remington has discontinued them but there are probally a few around yet in stores. The 710's were junk I looked at the 770 when I bought the ADL at Christmas there junk also the clerk dropped the bolt and the handle broke off. Looks and feels like a turd too.

The 700's are a far better built, better overall quality gun than the 710.

ahhhh! go with the 700, do not buy the 710! it is crap. I love my 700's and would not trade them for anything.

RE: Rem 700 or 710
 

The model 710 is not a good wepon to begin withand to complicate mattersit's poorly engineered. Go with the 700 it will serve you well for many years.

RE: Rem 700 or 710
 

Im gonna have to agree splurge and spend the extra on the 700. The 710's have a action, a cheap stock and a real loose magazine, also in most of the scope gun package deals that u get the scopes arent good for anything over a .308 siz bullet due to the cheap discount prices remington gets on them from there manufacturer.

RE: Rem 700 or 710
 

The 710's tend to bereally inconsistent in quality. they are made as an inexpensive "first rifle", though I wouldn't recommend one to anybody. A friend of mine bought one when they first came out, and has had zero problems with it. He put a Nikon scope on it, because he didn't like the Bushnell it came with, but other than that it's been a great rifle for him. Apparently, from what I have heard from just about everywhere else, that is the exception rather than the rule. I know the lock work is different than the 700, I believe the bolt has rear lugs, and the barrel is pressed in. If remember right, I thinkI read that the chamber is actually in the reciever rather than the barrel? At any rate, the 700 is well worth the extra cost IMO
