Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles remington junk 710

anyone ever see a 710 reciever break where the rear screw goes. whole end of the reciever is goe and the screw.safety still works fine.its a 30-06.

Pics?

And no.

guess i could just weld a nut on to it and find a screw to fit.

That's ugly.... What caused it to break?

Wow is all I can say.

I have no idea what caused the break. i was at a guys house buying a trailer from him and he asked if i hunted. i said yes ,he said he had a rifle he wanted to sell.he brought it out,it was fully painted camo and had a cheap scope on it. he said it was very accurate. i asked him how much he wanted for it .he said 200.00 with what ammo he had. he then went to get the ammo. knowing it was a 710 and not worth much i didn't really look it over very good . the guy returned with 15 boxes of remington 150gn ammo and i just gave him the 200.00 and left.

Send back to Remmys they might make it right for nothing.

Duct tape....

Duct tape is too good for that POS. I'd take a cutting torch to it so nobody ever gets hurt with it and call it a deal on ammo.

Kill it.
kill it with fire.

That needs to go back to Remington! Ask for a credit on something else, as you could never trust another 710.

Fire. Fire. Fire.

On the bright side, you got $300 worth of ammo for $200.

I'd try and return it to Remington and see what they'll do. I once bought a very nice 1100 at a pawn shop for $200 (deal!!). When I got it home, I noticed it had an ever so slight "bulge" in the barrel where the barrel transitioned into the screw-in choke. When I put my finger in the barrel, I could actually feel a ridge at the transition from barrel to choke tube (apparently, the barrel had been drilled slightly off-center for the choke tube). Every time the gun was fired,the wad/shot charge slammed into this ridge causing a bulge to form. Sent it off to Remington and got a new barrel for free (they agreed it had been drilled off center).

Why would you buy that?

What do you expect from a 200 $ POS plastic rifle ?

THAT! In SPADES..

guess what,the whole piece is plastic. guys,i bet everyone here woulda baought it for 200.00 . it had a centerpoint(pos) 4x16 scope on it and all the ammo. trying to contact remington to see about parts now.30-06 is not my thing but if i can get it fixed someone will want it.

What did Remington have to say about it?

Probably said that was some of the best pot metal to come out of China in a while...

Send it back. Tell them it causes your pattern to be spread out. Tell them everyone that sees it on the internet just can't believe it..

They can't stand the bad advertising, they pay too much for the good.

You'd like to request a clean 700 action (stainless, .378) in exchange for it...
