Every sense I saw one of these at a gunshop I have wondered how they perform at the range. I have recommended them to several people but I haven't heard back from them yet. At the price point that they are selling for I personally can't see anyone buying the entry level Remington 710 or 770. I know a friend who bought a couple of the entry level Mossbergs for his boys. Again I have to wonder if the Marlin would not have been a better choice. For all intensive purposes I think they are the same as a Savage 200, only they have a version of the accu-trigger in the Marlin.
