...The most accurate rifle , straight stock from the box, I've ever owned was a truly rare bird! The rifle was bench rest accurate with Winchester and Hornady ammo, a Remington varmint weight 788 in 22/250, it shot numerous 5 shot groups that could easily be covered by a DIME! I had no use for it, other than paper punching, and traded it off here on our forum for a new in the box CZ550FS in 7X57 Mauser. The CZ turned out to be exceptionally accurate as well, so I'm very happy to have a deer gun in such a vintage caliber.
....The Remington 788, especially the carbine models are great handling guns and tend to be supremely accurate pieces.Those found with Walnut stocks are uncommon but far more desirable to me.A carbine opened up to .358 Winchester would be a great all around big game hunting companion!
