Guess I'll have to pass based on those reviews!
Those guns are just the cheap plastic hunk that Remington is selling now. The don't look good. They don't feel good. Their action feels almost as smooth as a Weatherby that's been left under water for about a year. If you compare them to a new high-end, fancy Remington, Winchester, Browning, etc, they're certainly going to look and feel like junk. That said, Remington has a history of kicking out cheap, POS guns that shoot right with their high-end rifles. If you're looking to turn some heads at camp or the gun range with your fancy new rifle, the cheap Remington sure ain't the one to pick. If you're looking to get back in the field with a rifle that's "adequate" to get the job done and spend a rather small amount of money for a rifle, those guns will work fine.
While I get what you are saying I will disagree with you on these particular models. I am a Remington fan, and will tell you the 710 may possibly be the sorriest gun ever produced, behind a hi-point. I begged a buddy of mine to not buy one, and he did anyway(30-06). he had nothing but issues with it, and it sat at the gunsmith's shop more than it was in the woods......literally.And I did not find it to be very accurate either. They are made with plastic interior parts, especially around where the magazine pops in. That plastic is famous for breaking. His broke a total of 4 times. Last time it broke he took it to a pawn shop and got what he could get and said good riddance to it. He got a Savage for not much more than he paid for the 710 and never looked back. Google search that model and you will see it was a very common problem
The 770 is supposed to be the new and improved version of the 710. A polished turd at the end of the day is still a turd
I forgot to mention also I am looking to spend $350 or less. Don't need a new rifle though.
probably will be tough to find any "decent" autoloader in those calibers in that price range. maybe a used rem 7400 or mossberg. you could find plenty of nice used ones in a bolt in that price range. if that classic rem mdl 700 P.K. had isn't gone I'd jump on that in a hot minute.
