Even the 710 and 770's when you think about it they were not meant to be prefect rifles, thats Remington's M700's which are the "top of the pack" rifles. Instead the 710's and 770's were meant to offer new shooters cheap rifles they can learn on or hunters who do not shoot much and wont really go through the barrel life anytime soon.

Mind you I liked the feel of the first 710's when handling at a gun store, so I really do not know what all the complaints about it. But when it comes right down to it at 350$ for the rifle and scope for a first gun purchase its hard to beat. Especially if they are not that sure they'd even like shooting or hunting. Smile
