To each his own I guess.

That is an excellent comparison! If you use Snapon tools for awhile its hard to go back to something like Craftsman, let alone bolt stripping, knuckle bloodying cheap stuff.

Hell, for twenty bucks more you could get a good Savage or a Wally-world Weatherby! Either of which would be twice the gun that the 710 is!

i handled one and just from that i would never be caught dead buying one...sure for the weekend warrior its probally a perfect rifle..it will take them 10yrs to shoot 100rds out of it..but for anyone that wants to be confident they can hit their game for sure will shot more than the day before deer season or just once before rifle season...ive heard of guys from this very board shooting a 710 or their friends shooting them and within a box of ammo something major breaks down...when im in the field i want to shoulder my rifle with complete confidance that i can cleanly hit my game and my weapon is always going to function...thats why i will never buy one..i myself dont feel confident without shooting atleast a couple boxes of ammo throught the summer and atleast one before season..thats just me..maybe im crazy for wanting the best...but i have whats been called the best bolt action ever made and most everybody copied something from it...and i got it cheaper than any 710!! and i dont have much more into it than a 710 package and i have a leupold on it!!

I thought I would hear that stuff. It' s okay though, because I am happy with it for now. When I get into hunting more, I will probably buy a higher-quality rifle. Trust me though guys, it' s not all that bad for someone like me. It shoots fine, and a deer isn' t going to know the difference if a bullet from a Remington 710 (.30-06) hits it, or if a Weatherby Mark V in .30-06 hits it.

I guess what bothers me the most is Remington advertised it was such a great rifle, ant it' s junk. Good luck.

As the bearhuntr has said, the 710 is not a piece of junk, unless you have an example of almost any other rifle to which to compare it.....

RE: Remington 710...junk? I think not...
 

PAhunter86, I have had a couple of 710' s come thru the shop. I would not own one, period. There are a few other rifles out there that are comparable in price and a lot better in quality. With that said, I see nothing wrong with it as a youngsters first hunting rifle. As you said, a deer is not going to care or notice if it is hit with a 30/06, whether it is a 710, a sako, a wincheter, a browning, or a weatherby. As you gain experience and upgrade in caliber (quality) of rifles, you will understand what the guys here are talking about when it comes to the the 710 versus a quality rifle. Until then shoot the daylights out of that 710, until you are intimately familar with it, almost like it becomes an extension of yourself. Above all shoot it until you have the utmost confidence in that 710 and in yourself. Have fun with it, be careful, and good luck in your hunting adventures.
