I'd have to agree w/ Skyline.
Buying something that is already familiar to him in operation has to carry some weight in his decision. Being a sharpshooter, I have to assume, he must run considerable rounds through his dept issued weapon and would be comfortable with it's operation.
That being said the same would or could be said of the caliber if he shoots 308 through his department gun he'd have some basic feel for drop at various distances. Regardless, he would have less time involved getting used to his new weapon and potentially less rounds to get to where he wants to be saving $ to get there.
You said his issue weapon was is a Rem 700, I wouldn't expect that he'd be happy with something less.
I may be mistaken but isn't the 710 equipped with the etronix trigger? An electronic trigger would be enough for me not to purchase that gun. The battery light comes on with a 12pt standing in front of you.
Mossberg, I've only shot their shotgun. If their rifles are anywhere
near the weight of the shotgun you might as well carry your tactical rifle ... it may be lighter.
I'd personally lean towards the 700 ADL PKG and plan on scraping the scope. Then add a Swift scope to hold your price down. JMHO good luck.
