Using my own Bushnell boresighter,I have always been on the paper within 3" to 6" of the bullseye at 100 yards.You have to know your bore sighter and be familiar with using it.I can't speak for the magnetic units,because I have never used one.

yeah but how many times using your bore sighter did it take to get it that close ? :). a guy at the factory just stuffing a bore sighter in the barrel and clicking the knobs on the scope likely doesent give a rats ass where it hits lol. he did his job of "bore sighting".

magnetic ones work great is the muzzle of the gun is cut on a right angle to the bore. if not it wont even be close. i used a magnetic one on my traditional muzzle loader, and was within 5 inches at 50 yards ( not even close at 100) with my savage as is i said, best way i found for it was set it up on the bipod with a rear rest pop the bolt out and look down the bore, that gets be almost dead on at 100.

A place with good quality control would be conducting random test fires and show the door to said lazy employee.
 
I'm hoping you guys aren't too right. My dad looked at a reminton rifle at a little shop in the summer where they have their boat and he liked it... So when he won 400 bucks at the casino a few weeks ago, he called the shop and asked if they still had that one. They did. It's a 770, 30-06 in camo.

I wasn't any part of the purchase or I probably would have intervened. He's a 4-5 shot a year deer hunter who shoots a couple at the beginning of the season and gets a deer every year with the others, mostly one.

He's got some fudd similarities, but thank god a friend recently got him into pistols and he's got an RPAL. Just talking mom into purchasing it is the hard part. If it's a father/son activity, it's garanteed a yes as since I grew up a bit, I can do no wrong to her.

That's off topic. He's got about a 1980 Ruger m77 7mm RM that he bought new and has hunted with since but it is a bit of a heavy rifle. When he bought it, it was a huge purchase of ~$350 or something and it put a lot of food on the table.

I really hope he doesn't get burned on this one and I told him that the 770 was an upgraded version of the 710 and would probably be a good rifle for him.

It was tough.. When I buy a rifle, I do homework and I did a lot before buying my 45-70 1895 and my tikka t3 in 6.5x55. They are quality guns that do exactly what I was looking for them to do.

Only time can tell, but someone out there.. please tell me you are happy with your 770?


Thanks,

Ryan

I know someone with the rust issue too. This is a brand new "unfired" gun.

Those pics are of a M-700 bolt and receiver, not a M-710.
 
I have a model 710 in .270, I leave it in the states as I am a member of a hunting club in the carolinas. With handloads I constantly shoot clover type holes at a 100yrds. The stock is cheap as is the basic 3x9 bushnell on it. The overall weight is very light making it a better than average hunting rifle. I have taken in excess of 20 whitetail with it in Virginia, N.C., S.C.. It isn't like my senderos or VSSF 308 but it gets the job done. I have run about 1600 rounds out of mine and can't complain.
 
Heard about this fellow out in Alberta. As Westerners are often want to do, he had a rifle rack in the back window of his pick-up with a Remington 710 in the rack.

Parked it at the Mall and somebody broke into it ..... they left another 710 !
