I've never seen one in person but I've read they took a lot of design cues from the Marlin X rifles after they bought Marlin. Too bad they decided to put it in a butt-ugly stock. The Marlins are by far my favorite budget rifle. If the 783s are similar, it doesn't surprise me that they shoot so well.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
