let's talk remington 710

[Shrubmaster]

What's the good, the bad, and the ugly? I've read that they're mostly plastic inside. Any personal experience would be appreciated

You do NOT want one! Garbage thru and thru. Do a bit more research.
Mossberg, Howa, Savage,etc. Way better choices than the 710.

What you want is a 783.

[Varg Vikernes]

It was so bad they discontinued it and made it the 770.

783 actually looks decent for a starting rifle.

[jtv3062]

It was designed for the hunter fired a few rounds a year. The bolt locks into the barrel and not the action. That's the few things I remember reading when the 710 first came out.

Remington discontinued making it in 2006, enough said.

[Divernhunter]

The good---None
The bad---everything
The ugly---yes and then they built another POS called the 770

Bottom line run away from any 710 or 770

[G-Man WC]

No!

Let's not talk about the 710

It is to rifles what those pot-metal, last-for-100-rounds Saturday Night Special $50 pistols were to handguns.

I don't know anything about this rifle but based on the comments it sounds like Remington's version of the hi point

That's not a good comparison. Hi-Points are rough, basic, and ugly as a car wreck, but they're very robust and reliable. The Remington 710 is just bad. Even late-war Mosin-Nagant rifles with the really obvious unfinished machining marks and hastily fitted stocks seem better built than the Rem 710 I once considered buying.

My buddy has one - in 7mm mag LOL. I tease him for buying the cheapest rifle chambered in the most expensive round.

Funny thing is that even as fugly as it is, the thing is a tack driver. It defies all the reviews and even logic. He even has the crappy Bushnell scope on it still.

If someone were giving one away or selling it for stupid cheap I'd buy one for the hell of it. I know I'm in a very small minority there.

^^^ Wait until the bolt handle breaks off or so other such trouble and he(and you) will be singing a different tune.
