***Remington 788 .243win Caliber MFG 1971 w/Period Correct Rings & Scope 95%+ Super Nice Shooter***
Description: Picked up a super nice Remington 788 Bolt Rifle in .243win it has a decent Scope and Rings that are period correct for the MFG year of 1971. These older wood bolt guns are getting harder to find and this one would make a great shooter fort varmit deer or just something to carry in the truck for when the need arrises. The 788 has a removeable magazine this one had sight at one time and the rear blade and elivation were removed for the optic mount (Are vailable for replacement if desired not included). The rifle fires as it should bolt action is smooth and locks up nice over all it's in great shape. The Model 788’s bolt featured nine rear locking lugs, a 60-degree lift, and an unadorned, plain Jane stock with a Monte Carlo comb and—to the horror of many Mauser 98 and Winchester Model 70 purists— a three-round detachable box magazine. An overabundance of steel in the receiver made for exceptionally exceptional strength and rigidity, and the Model 788 quickly gained a reputation for exceptional accuracy. Legend has it this proved somewhat of an embarrassment to Remington’s flagship Model 700. Regardless of whether this was true, the fact remains that the Model 788 was a heck of a shooter for its modest price. Even Elmer Keith— no fan of budget hardware— was impressed by the rifle, which he reviewed after a writer’s seminar the Big Green put on prior to Elmer’s article in the June 1967 Guns & Ammo, “Remington’s Rack of New Guns”: The Model 788 is a stiff, heavy action and should be ample for all the loads for which it is designed. They claim the fastest lock time in the world for this rifle. There is no locking on the bolt handle, but the case head is enclosed in the bolt face. The rear end of the bolt is also fully enclosed so no gas can escape to the rear. The cartridge case is fully supported at rear and sides, and it looked to me like a very strong action in every respect.” ***Layaway 30% Down Balance paid in 90 Days don't miss out at this price!!!*** ***NOTE***ALL SALES ARE FINAL!
