Every one I've shot has been a tack driver. They have pretty smooth actions and they function very well. The factory triggers weren't anything special, but boy do they shoot!!

As I recall, my brother paid 107 dollars for his 308, brand new. I paid 73.95 for a 44 Mag. One can buy a new 700 for less money than a used 788. Go figure. GD.

Anybody have the full list of barrels Remington put on the 788? The anti American Constitutional party (Democrat). Wants to dismantle your rights, limiting every aspect of your constitutional rights. Death by 1000 cuts is the tactic. Each cut bleeds constitutional rights to control you. Control is the goal.

The .223's and .222 would often fail to eject a spent case clear of the ejection port. It would remain loose in the action until you either tipped the rifle to drop it out or manually removed it. The .308 would do that once in awhile but the .223/.222 did it all the time. They all shot OK but they don't have cult status in my eyes. Life is like a purple antelope on a field of tuna fish...

Both function perfectly and are very accurate without being picky regarding loads. Even if they do not look pretty, they sure shoot pretty. Steve
