Thank You High Planes Drifter I Use To Be A Subcriber To Gun Tests For About 5 Years.but Then The Kids Get Into Stuff Like Gymnastics,dancing,having To Get Braces/retainers.and You Find
Yourself Giving Up More Stuff.and I Was Finding That I Was Only
Reading Maybe 6 Rifle Articles A Year.there Is Too Much Red Tape To Even Think About Owning A Handgun Up Here In Canada.i'm Not A Bird Hunter So I Don't Read The Shotgun Articles.and I Am Your Basic .243 Up To 30.06 Kind Of Gunbuff So Alot Of The Rifle Articles I Skipped Also.so I Would Really Appreciate Any Valuable Information You Could Send Me.

The 710 is good for a guy who goes out and shoots his deer and that's about the only time it's ever used. Everything I've read says it's not all that durable over the long haul.

Probably a good "loaner" gun, or as an extra as a backup when you're off at deer camp. It's just not for the serious rifleman.

That's separate and distinct from its accuracy; they have a reasonbly good reputation for decent groups.

7mm-08 :
Problems with the Remington 710: problems loading the removable magazine, poor trigger, the scope was loose right out of the box- the base was loose on the action, and the rigns were loose on the base

Savage11FCXP3- no (gun-fault) problems out of the box. The writter had a couple of nagging flaws about the rifle, but no design malfunctions and generally spoke highly of it. When tested with Winchester 180gr Power Point the gun fired a 1.2" group. Better that most rifles Gun Test has tested. Earned a Best Buy rating. Gun comes with Simmons 3x9x40. MSRP $424.00
