When I bought this, it needed some work. I stripped the stock, bring out the grain and sanded it down, then refinished it with 8 coats of minwax, I then sprayed 5 thin coats of matte sealer. Next up was the metal. I had it cerakoted graphite black, with the firing pin housing and trigger guard done in burnt bronze. I then replaced the scope and rings. I put period correct one piece Weaver rings, and a brand new Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 with bdc reticle (which I have the box for). I also bought a extra magazine. I have not fired the rifle, I have several test loads loaded up with 87 gr Hornady Bthp bullets, and IMR 7828ssc I will include.

I am only selling to help fund my unit 9 elk tag hunt.

$600 ftf, located in Tucson/Marana, shipping add $40 (I'll send in hard plastic case, if I can find one for reasonable price). I will meet as far north as Casa Grande and as far south as 19/10 interchange.

This is before I changed the scope and had the metal treated. Shows the figure in the stock well.

Lord knows if I didn't already have one, I'd be all over that.
Nice work on the finish job.


I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Wow, one of the coolest 788's I have ever seen. Good luck with this AND your elk hunt!
