Based on the same principles as the Remington 700 series, the Model 710 uses a centerfire bolt-action cartridge, a 3-lug bolt system as opposed to the Remington 700's dual opposed locking lugs, with a 4-round detachable magazine (or a 3-round for the 7 mm Remington Magnum and the .300 Winchester Magnum).
