The 710/770 uses a two piece reciever.
The outer part has always been metal.
The inner piece of the 710 is plastic and metal on the 770.
But it is still a two piece reciever. Any moisture gets between those two pieces and the rifles doom is sealed.
Literally.
The two part reciever does not appear to be able to be taken apart and cleaned/oiled.

Actually...the 770 receiver (latest version of the 710) is not 2 piece. It is a single piece of steel extruded over a mandrel to form the bolt raceways. The trigger assembly/bolt stop is still attached to a "receiver insert" attached just forward of the receiver tang, but the main body of the receiver is solid steel. The 710's were changed to this style of receiver in 2005.
