I picked one up about 2 years ago with sights and a spare magazine for $305 out the door. I felt like I stole it! Most will bring $450 to $500 as long as they are in good condition. I am a cult leader for 788's. I have all 9 calibers. They never made a synthetic factory stock. I've seen some walnut on the early production 788's, but most are birch. I haven't had a 788 that didn't shoot pretty darn good. The 30-30 will change most peoples mind about 30-30 accuracy. My 6 is a consistant 3/4" gun with about anything I put in it. I would like to see the stock that's on it, if you pick it up, post some pics.
