It should be pretty close, within a few degrees. What is the temp range for your temp gun? I am not sure how accurate that method will be for checking the tip temp. They have special equipment for calibrating these irons. The closer you can get the temp gun to the tip the better for accuracy though. With the error rate possible in the temp gun measurment, I would say that at 700* it should at least read over 600* It is also possible that you received a bad unit.

I still think this thread needs to be a sticky. I've never, in nearly 30 years of RC had solder joints this clean. Thank you again.
Good to know... I will update soon. (time to go eat right now)

Hopefully I will now be able to get better connections!
I'll find out when my new connectors arrive (hopefully this week) but for now I'm off to get some flux
(I didn't know that flux cored wire wasn't any real benefit)
Cheers
Glad I could help.
