I see why Remington released the model 710-good for your average Joe that can't afford much. And then give him the Remington name, at a cheaper price. Savage and some others have been doing this for a while, though the market has increased for these "budget rifles"-and they can achieve some great feats. But this is not to be compared to a model 700 by any means. For a normal deer gun with deer hunting accuracy, it will do fine. But so will a $50-150 Mosin Nagant or Mauser. A no nonsense rugged gun=yes. Personally I would opt for the Stevens, NEF/H&R of even a Mossberg 100 ATR about the same results, if not better.
If I found one for cheap, I would buy it. But not for what Walmart is asking...Rather have a Savage. VERY accurate and well built, though perhaps not the prettiest rifle on the market.
