Remington ~ Model 788 Carbine ~ .243 WIN

Description:
The Remington 788 is a bolt-action, centerfire rifle that was made by Remington Arms from 1967 to 1983. The 788 utilizes a single-column detachable magazine. The Remington 788 has two distinguishing design features. The first is the rear-lugged bolt. The bolt has nine lugs in three rows of three lugs each. They lock into the receiver behind the magazine well. Due to this design, the bolt handle lifts only 60 degrees on opening giving more clearance for scopes compared to the 90 degrees required for the Model 700 and other two-lug rifles. The bolt travel is also reduced because of the rear lugs. The second distinguishing feature is the receiver. It has a smaller ejection port than similar bolt-action rifles, and no bolt lug raceways. The single stack magazine design yields a smaller feed opening in the bottom of the receiver compared to rifles using a double stack magazine well. This example is from 1980 and comes with one magazine. It has a black synthetic Ram-Line stock. Finish is good showing normal wear. .243 Winchester
