Bogie knows bolt guns.
Do NOT buy a Remington 710. Get either a 700 or a Savage Model 10/110 variant. Savage is easy to work on yourself, and Remington has better triggers available, any _any_ gunsmith who even dreams of opening a shop should know how to rebarrel one...
Why avoid the 710?
If you're posting here, odds are you're planning on doing some shooting. Some practicing. You aren't going to be able to do relatively minor things like rebarrelling that 710 - it just can't be done.
So, after you put a case of ammo down that pipe, and the accuracy is starting to go south, well... You can try to trade it for something...
Now, _if_ all you are looking for is a gun to take out for deer season, and you're the typical "buy a box of the cheapest legal for deer ammo every year or so" kinda guy, this may be the rifle for you. Irritates the heck outta me when I see you at the range tho - 10 rounds of ammo, trying to sight the darn thing in, and you can't figure out which way to crank the scope...
