The breakthrough design of the Model 710 begins with good genetics. After all, it was born in design from none other than the legendary Remington Model 700 — unquestionably the most popular, most accurate factory-built centerfire in hunting arms history. As such, the new Model 710 shares many of the same hallmark features as the famous Model 700: The same unequaled out-of-the-box accuracy. The same time-honored reliability. The same crisp, single-stage trigger design. The same ultra-fast lock time. And the same famous "three-rings-of-steel" for superior action strength.
But while much of the Model 710’s base design is owed to its heritage, its real story starts with advancements made possible through today’s most modern technology. Built in America’s newest firearms plant — through state-of-the-art manufacturing systems — the Model 710 not only breaks new ground for value-priced rifles, but for firearms engineering and production as a whole. Principal among its many remarkable features is a first-ever bolt-to-barrel lock-up design. The rear of the Model 710 barrel is machined specifically to mate with three unique locking lugs on the bolt face. When the bolt is fully engaged in the forward position, it locks directly and securely inside the barrel — rather than the receiver — for unprecedented strength. Additionally, the fiberglass-reinforced nylon receiver insert is blended with Teflon and silicon before molding for continual self-lubrication and ultimately smooth operation.
A shorter, 60-degree bolt throw (versus 90-degrees on most competitive rifles) makes for more convenient loading and unloading, as well as faster follow-up shots. Rounding out the impressive list of features is a detachable, dual-stack steel magazine box. A key-operated Integrated Security System. And a button-rifled barrel that’s hydraulically pressed to the receiver. The stock is also quite a feat of design — constructed of weather-defying gray synthetic with a uniquely textured finish and raised cheekpiece.
