HOW DO THEY COMPARE TO THE 700? WHAT ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE BOLT? AND HOW ACCURATE ARE THEY? THANKS JURDAN

    You get what you pay for. Buy a used 700 instead.

    A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.

    The barrel can not be changed where as a 700's can.
    Accuracy reports show most to be in the MOA (or better) class.
    They are marketed for the "box a year" (and first time) hunter, and serve that purpose well.
    If your looking for a rifle to customize or want to change calibers than go with the used 700.
    Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

    all you need to do is hold one and compare it side by side to a 700. i think it's a decent gun for the money, but it feels clunky in the hands to me. i have seen some good reports on the gun in some gun mags.

    Go with a 700 instead of the 710

    If money is an issue, go with a Savage

    Just picked my Savage up today

    In 270 with the extras out the door for $375

    (That's including the "CA" tax)

    From handling one, and talking to friends, I would recommend the
    700 instead of the 710. A gunsmith friend told me the 710 is for
    folks that keep it in the closet until deer season, take it out and
    shoot it 2 or 3 times a year. The closest thing to a disposable gun
    he has seen.

    Don't send flowers when I die. Send money now, I can buy more ammo.

    You are better off buying a Savage than the 710. I had one and ended sending it back to Remington 3 times to get it fixed and I didn't fire a shot out of it. I traded it off as soon as it came back the third time. They would make good boat anchors
