Is there a big difference btwn. Remington's 700 model and their 710 model because I saw the price difference but just wondering if there is any BIG physical or shooting wise difference btwn. them?
Well, for your purpos3es, the Model 700's extra cost over the 710 might not be worth it. It all depenmds on whether you want to have a rifle you can shoot as much as you'd like and be able to pass on to your kids or grand kids. if you do, get the 700. If you'll be satisfied with a rifle you can shoot two or three times a year for five years, get the 710......

Got to go with the crowd. I love my 700 BDL. I looked at a 710 and put it down as soon as I had picked it up. Even felt bad in my hands.[:'(]

When i checked on a 710 out at the local gun shop, it literally had a red haze around it. I heard some otherworldy chanting in demonic voices echoing from the action and the barrel was bleeding brass. It was such a horribly bad gun that i couldnt even stare at it, I had to turn away to keep from crying from the sheer pain and anguish i suffered by being in the presence of one....

Oh man guys this is getting ridiculous!

Look, all BS aside, the gun isnt a bad gun, but it is a CHEAP gun. WIth guns, more often than not you are getting what you pay for. If you want to pay a 200 for a gun instead of paying 300 for a better gun, your most likely getting a gun that is only 2/3rds as good as as the more expensive one. Especially whn comparing two guns of the same brand. Will the gun shoot, YES, will it shoot somewhat accurately, YES, will it shoot more than once, YES, is it gonna fall apart just by holding it, NO, but is it gonna last you a lifetime if you use it a lot....most likely not. At 100 yards, the deer will be as dead with a 710 as it is with a 700 and odds are the shot will be in the same place regardless of the gun you use. People may attack the quality of the gun which can easily be done, but not many people can attack the accuracy for the price. If you are only gonna carry it into the woods once or twice a year, it will last you a long time, maybe even outlast you, but it prolly wont outlast your kids and grandkids and their grandkids while a 700, if taken care of properly, will.
