haha, yeah I should of thought about it more.

oh boy you just shook the hornets nest

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
