Bolt Stop Failures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The bolt breaking off is a notoriously common problem with the Remington 710s. The bolt shroud also breaks pretty easily. Additionally, the bolt’s front portion could be out of alignment with the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The lever for the 710 bolt release pivots back to unlock and forward to lock. It could get snagged on something and snap off if you forget<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to lock it back down. Users make this mistake a lot after a cleaning session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid cycling the bolt too quickly and avoid sleeve tangle-ups when closing the bolt. Doing this can damage the shroud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor Quality and Design of Barrel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The barrel of the Remington 710 is hydraulically pressed into the receiver and joined to it permanently. The fit, however, is terrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The barrel is only partially seated in the receiver and is removable. One screw on the magazine’s front holds it in place and another screw secures it to the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The barrels’ poor fit is a manufacturing fault. An inexpensive product that is produced in large quantities may occasionally contain a lemon. This is the case with the Remington 710s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send the gun to Remington. They’ll either give you a new gun or a refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Action Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The action freezing is another problem. This issue gets worse when using 400\u2013500 rounds of inexpensive ammunition, such as, Federal American Eagle 155gr FMJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every couple of boxes, on average, the action would freeze and the bolt would be extremely difficult to open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The action’s soft rails quickly gouge, making it incredibly stiff and rough. I believe that changing the rifle is the only viable solution to the issue. The 710 is unquestionably a throwaway after entry-level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trigger Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Remington trigger problem dates back to the 1970s. Remington has also issued recalls because of this. The factory trigger is overly heavy, which causes the gun to jerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears like the gun trembles before the sear releases. But 710 trigger is an electrical switch, there are no sears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The triggers had many problems when they were replacing the Walker triggers on 710s. This is quite ironic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 710’s single-stage trigger is made of cheap metal and isn’t quite as good as the one that came with the 788. The warranty will be invalidated if you meddle with the trigger!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weight of the trigger cannot be reduced. You can replace the trigger, however. It will be expensive though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not get the \u201cupgrade\u201d from Remington, even if it\u2019s offered. Simply purchase a Timney or other posh trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheap Make<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Guns jamming, finicky coating and groups fired consistently being under 2 MOA are some common complaints. Over time, the 710 has developed a reputation for being unreliable and finicky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This entry-level gun was made by cutting corners. It has lousy machining and finishing and is built extremely cheaply. Even the metal is just coated garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have a lot of plastic on them to make them cheaper. The bolt is very tacky. The stock also resembles a vintage synthetic .22LR. And they typically only last for 500 rounds until something breaks or it stops working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no fix to this. You just have to treat it as an entry-level gun and then forget about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Feedback on Remington 710<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are so many conflicting opinions on the Rem 710. Some claim it is pure, unadulterated garbage. Its design is deemed poor because of the press-fit barrels and plastic guide rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, some say, even the most affordable Stevens\/Savage would be an improvement. Some claim that the Rem 710, like the simple girl at the dance, is underappreciated while having a lot of promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a 270, it is quite precise and reliable. Some people like the model 710 over the Model 770 that came after it. It looks better than the Savage Axis. It is not a wonderful gun, but neither is it a bad one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There really isn’t much that can be done to customize it, other than painting the stock and mounting a better scope. Because the barrel and receiver\/bolt carrier is combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a “hick-up” in the transition from the plastic receiver to the metal barrel (due to the interior barrel’s receiver’s plastic construction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I believe, the gun is not overestimated. As an entry-level gun, it is good.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
