The Remington 710 in .30-06 shot very well. It seemed most accurate in 180 grain. (winchester power point plus) Surprisingly, I did not have good results with the core-lokt ammo, but I was pleasantly surprised at the moderate recoil. I shot nearly 60 rounds and hardly felt any effects. I am very happy with it and recommend it to those interested in rifles/hunting. ..Never to early to hone your "snipinging" skills ! The people at Carter's said they were weary of the new rifle since the earliest shipments had recalls, but the problem has thus been corrected. BTW, I purchased mine for $319.00 at Academy. For the money, you can't beat this rifle! ------------------ I'm just a nut, trying to get a squirrel!
I saw a news special on a remington rife that would fire on it's own when you took the safety off. Apparently many people have been shot and killed by this malfunction. Better be careful dude. ------------------ "You have to think optimistic. I think it's never over till it's over." - Clyde Drexler after losing at home to go down 3-1 to the Suns in '95
