Remington Sportsman 78 - .30-06 Springfield - Used; Good Condition - Economy-Class 700
Remington Sportsman 78 – The Economy-Class 700 – .30-06 Springfield
For sale is a Remington Sportsman 78 bolt-action rifle, chambered in the iconic .30-06 Springfield cartridge. This rifle is in good used condition and represents Remington's economy-grade bolt-action offering from 1984 to 1988. Serial Number: B6616400.
The Sportsman 78 functions fundamentally as a Remington 700 ADL, utilizing the same legendary receiver and action – making it a hidden gem for shooters who want the 700 platform at a budget-friendly price. It features a blind box magazine (no hinged floorplate), an uncheckered hardwood stock, matte bluing on the metal, a 22-inch barrel with open iron sights, and weighs approximately 7 lbs.
Note on Sling Studs: The sling studs are aftermarket and installed poorly – they are still securely mounted, but the installation is not factory-quality. Please see photos for details.

The Remington Sportsman 78 is a hidden gem – it's essentially a Remington 700 ADL at a fraction of the price. Produced for only a few years in the mid-1980s, these rifles are becoming harder to find. This example shows honest wear and has aftermarket sling studs installed (poorly, but securely). It is a functional, reliable hunting rifle that would make an excellent truck gun, loaner, or project rifle. The .30-06 chambering makes it a versatile tool for North American big game hunting.
