For your $700, this is probably the best you are going to do buying new.
For $895 you could have the stainless version of the same rifle or their 6.5x55 stainless Hougue stocked package.
Any of these will give you a good start and are a much better option than the 710 you originally looked at.
If you can stretch the budget then you will obviously open up more and better quality options but the ones I've mentioned should start you on the right track.

It's in the 2014 catalogue that they send out.
Had a quick look online on my phone and can't see it either so probably worth calling them on the phone.
