Was thinking of buying one for part time southern pig hunting .
Any advice on one ??Good?Bad? junk? Whats the best ammo to use out to 150-200 yrds . 710 seems to be a decent choice for shipping back and fourth from lower florida to ohio . I wouldnt want to take a nice rifle that could be damaged in shipping .

generally regarded as one of the worst rifles ever made by Remington.
My advice - Savage w/an accutrigger.
JMHO
150 gr. 165 gr. 140.gr 130 gr. All are ok. I prefer the 140's.
Go with a basic Savage with the accutrigger (even Wally World carries them)...that is the one I bought my brother for his birthday in 270 and he loves it.
He uses 150 grain for deer in Arkansas.
Have only had the 700 myself. BIL had a 710 and the stock broke. No aftermarket stock found yet. Shot OK if your standards aren't super high.

Why not the 770 stock ?

buy a savage or a 700 or dont waste $
Thanks guys ! My buddy called me last night and told me a walmart about 30 mn drive south has marlins xl7 for 249.99 . [:)] Guess i'll grabe one of those to take to florida and shoot some hogs !![:D]
I still prefer the Stevens or Savage route esp. for future DIY projects but the Marlin XL7 is a very good choice over the 710. IMHO, here's a very nice review of the XL7 ...
