Somebody in Washington state probably has mine. I let it go for $300.00 on a new Ruger Varmit Model 22.250.

The 788 was a .22-250 also, with a Canjar trigger, some kind of high power scope and a really nice, new, Fajen stock. I don't think it ever shot any of my loads over an inch at 100 yds. Most were way less than that.

I used to shoot a lot and just couldn't stand fumbling around with that magazine situation or the rear lugs. The Ruger with the benchrest magazine follower is slicker than bug juice. It does not shoot better than the 788 but I believe the axiom:

"Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun."

YMMV
