You may find a worse rifle, but it's going to take you a while.

Lol it's sticky but once free floated and equipped with a good scope seem to kill groundhogs and coyotes for me

710 is THE absolute worst...but seeing as the 770 is an "improvement" on the 710, it has to be at least somewhat better then that gun right...so second worst? Lol.
Probably shoots just fine, I think it's the durability factor that hurts the reputation of these models.

The Rem 770 is a rebranded Rem 710. The 710 had such a horrible reputation they needed to distance themselves from it. That should tell you something.

If you like it, that's great. Enjoy

They usually shoot just fine (along with pretty much every modern bolt action hunting rifle, minus the odd dog).

They do have a reputation as pretty much the worst production bolt action rifle ever made. Mostly because of the sticky bolt, clumsy stock, bad fit and finish, parts susceptible to breaking ect.

If you own it and it's functional and accurate there is no reason not to use it though.

I held a 770 once...then handed it back to guy behind the counter and left the store.

The 710 and 770 make good tomato stakes, or door stops.
