I have a 700 but whats the diff between the two? Bobby They are quickly assembled, and the quality is not good. The stock is plastic. The one piece moulded trigger gaurd is part of the stock and is weak. The barrel is press fitted and glued into place, the bolt release is cheesy, and the whole thing feels like a club. Now that they are available in magnum calibers, with magnum pressures, I'm sure the problems and recalls will continue. best of luck |
RE: remington 710
I like my 700 (30--06) and I don't have any complaints, but if the 710 is inferior to it I would spent a little more $ and go with the 700. There is somethings in life I will cut corners on but somethings that I know work I won't compromise on. A good quality rifle will always hold there value $ wise but more importantly sentimentaly when you hand it down to the young one. ;) Bobby

RE: remington 710
I recently bought a 710 and except for a little trigger creep i think its a lot of gun for the money. It's very accurate shooting 130 gr. ammo. At least thats what mine likes. I would'nt say its a cheap gun, its more like low cost. The Rem. 870 is a low cost gun also but millions have been sold. Seems everyone owns one. And last but not least, when you're on a budget, or, disabled, like i am, there even a better deal. ...Good Luck, Good Hunting.

RE: remington 710
I had a 710 in 30-06 before trading up to a 700 ADL and there's no comparison between these two models. I'd go with the model 700 and never look back.
I recently bought a 710 and except for a little trigger creep i think its a lot of gun for the money. The Rem. 870 is a low cost gun also but millions have been sold. After several attempts to fix the trigger on my 710, Remington did the right thing by swapping my 710 for a brand new 700. Their customer service is top-notch in my book and I will once again continue to buy their rifles, but I'll never buy another 710. Not a chance. |
RE: remington 710
I own two M700's that I like very much, but I wouldn't keep an M710 if someone gave one to me. The M700 is a much better rifle, and the ADL synthetics (while they last) and the new SPS' aren't that much more than the M710.
The M710 is the ultimate budget rifle. If the 710 is all you can afford and not a penny more, then it'll do the job. But I can't see any other reason than desperation to buy one. Mike |
