[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1332315, member: 12995"] Let's not forget that sh!tbox the model 710, too... If I remember correctly, the barrels on those were press-fit and the action was plastic. It was just horrendous. The 770 wasn't any better. Both were complete garbage from the get-go. Used to have idiots bring them into the gun store and want us to figure out why they couldn't hit a **** thing with them. We would usually explain that just because it starts with a "7" and has 3-digits in the model number doesn't mean it's the same as a 700. So we'd politely tell them to just spend the extra $$$ on a 700 ADL or BDL, and that we'd set them up with a good scope and bore-sight it for them, and "sweeten the deal", and they'd usually buy a REAL 700 with a REAL scope, and were much happier. Sometimes you just have to steer people in the right direction to get them to realize they had previously been steered into the wrong direction. [/QUOTE]
