My Dad bought a new 788 .243 with a 4X Weaver scope for me as a reward for all A's on my report card my 8th Grade year. With 43 grains of IMR4350 and an 85 grain Sierra Softpoint it shoots 5 shots at 100yds. that you can cover with a dime. I bet I have killed a dumptruck load of groundhogs with that rifle. It now has a 6X Weaver old style scope on it.
