Teaching a SWAT sniper school years ago, one of the students showed up with a department-owned, heavy barrel 788 in 308 Winchester...
That doggone thing was one of, if not the most accurate rifle in the class of 20 some SWAT officers. I was impressed as was everyone else. We usually saw Remington 700's and Accuracy International rifles - which also did well, but that 788... My goodness... Quite a rifle!
