traded my 710
 

2 years ago i bought a 710 in 270. I've been happy with the gun as far as its accuracy but have become weary of its durability mostly from what i've read here. nothing had gone wrong with it up until now. Went back to the place I bought it (pawn shop) and traded it in for a 700 ADL in 7mm mag. Maple stock in excellent condition. I gave the 710 + $75. I had originally bought the 710 from them new for $350.
I wasn't looking to change the 270 in for a 7mag but I really liked the gun.
Took the 700 to the range and it shoots great. the 7mm hits me a bit harder but not enough to say it's bothersome

Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting a little more range time in and then be ready for deer season. I have never used a 7mag before but i really do like how the gun feels

RE: traded my 710

You made a good move, i'm not a big fan of that 710[:'(]

RE: traded my 710
 

Good move Danny!:)

Good rifle for sure. I would add though even though I never owned a 710, The were an OK rifle for the average hunter who shoots 3-4 boxes of ammo a year through their gun. I know several guys who have them and have had no problems with them. If you are going to shoot a lot though then the 710 is not the best gun to own.

RE: traded my 710
 

i will say that the action feels so much more smoothe and solid on the 700

RE: traded my 710
 

You bet:D

I am a die hard Remmy fan but get a sour stomach about the 710. Hopefully the 770 (710 replacement) turns out a bit better. The 700 ADL in 7 mag is awesome. Have one myself and keep her 1/2 MOA out to 400 yds!

RE: traded my 710
 

Yowza!!!! 2" at 400 yards. That is mighty impressive. I'd be happy with 1 to 1.5 at 100

RE: traded my 710
 

Im telling ya. I well worked load will be tremendous difference! Plus a nice rest helps a lot. I shoot out of a Caldwell. (URL Below)Plus the trigger has been worked to break at 3 lbs. I consider that perfect for hunting situations. My buddy has a rifle built custom for him. 1.5lb trigger. 6-20X scope, heavy barrel, all that stuff, and he makes literally one hole at 100 yds. It takes some time for development and all of that, just take the time at the range and you rifle should easily be MOA if not sub MOA!


And as for recoil, put a pad on it. I have the HI-VIZ recoil pad on mine and can shoot all day with out discomfort.

Thas some awesome shooting and i'm sure it takes a lot of work. I have no idea what my new rifle is capable of and i suspect i may never know.
At least for now, i'm only shooting factory ammo and i can only get out to the range a few times a month.
So if I can keep it around 1 to 1.5....Yea for me!!

I had a 7mm Mag. Too much kick for me. Sold it and went with a Remington 700 in 270 win. It's just right. The 7mm is a hard hitter and will drop anything. The ammo is a bit more expensive. Good hunting.
