I was in town today and held a 700. I do like it. $620 is a little more than I was wanting to spend, but I'd rather spend more and be happy, than less and disappointed. Gonna check to gun shop for a used one.

Thumbs up

You know I would not pick a 770 or a 710 as the rifle of my dreams. I have shot both and they both work well enough to take deer to 300yrds (even with the crappy scope that may come bore sighted).

In your arsenal, collection, stash, cashe or whatever you call it you will have working guns that go bang and do the job. These rifles bring no tears to your eyes if you drop them. If they end up behind your truck seat and a piece of log chain finds the barrel causing that medieval look, you may say a few bad words but it will not ruin your day. Sometimes you become attached to these beaters.

So I say if that’s what you can afford now get it. It’s not perfect but it will work.
