Deer Rifle for Police Sniper

[TreeDoc]

I have had 2 experiences with the 710. The first was simply handling it and studying the construction and quality. My impression is "What a POS!" I don't see how someone would make the choice of a 710 over a used 700 BDL or the less expensive ADL especially after having competently handling a finer quality long gun like your friend has. Just my opinion there.

Second experience was having a regular shooter at my IDPA club that had, quite literally, half of his face peeled off when his 710 exploded due to an overcharged reload. Any gun could have potentially done that but the crux of this issue was that the charge pressure when duplicated would NOT have discumbobulated a standard 700 but the 710 is built to slightly lessor pressure standards. This is what I was told first hand by this gentleman who was quite knowledgeable as to the testing that was done in replicating his nearly grave mistake. Depending on what side of his face you look at, he looks like 2 different people thanks to the surgeries and scars.

Buy once, buy something decent from a used rack.
