langouroux 14 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi guys is this rifle any good? I have found one on guntrader: new Remington 710 synthetic .243 inc bushnell scope 3-9 x 40 with mounts for £475.00!! the problem is, i am learning to stalk with my deer assessors sauer 202 i 6.5 x 55....what an awesome rifle! i swear she sings when you pull the trigger! what should i do ? i cant afford a sauer. And 6.5 x 55 in any other brand are at least £200'ish more! should i settle for a smaller caliber to save money? .....................answer ona post card, or the forum! cheers, langouroux.

Mr_Logic 5 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nope. Never, ever do anything in the shooting world to save a couple of hundred quid - you will, without a doubt, pay more in the long term. That said, you don't need to buy a Sauer to get a rifle that works well. Those Remington 710s are meant to shoot quite nicely, but for me they are far too cheap and plasticky. 50 quid more gets you a Howa, sometimes you can find them for the same price. Forget the Bushnell scope the Remington has, it's a PoS and should be placed into a dustbin should you buy the rifle. As for calibre, 243 works, but if you want a 6.5, then get one of those - no sense spending money on something you don't want! Quote Link to post
