I have had a couple 783s and they were very well made and shot very well. I have had a 700 and 4 ruger centerfires I couldn't have hit a basketball with at 100 yards due to them shooting patterns. And those were 500 plus dollar guns not a $299 783 model.

Worst one I have had? Ruger number one. Heartbreaking because I love the look and feel but it was just too inaccurate to keep...1 shot here another 4 inches away, etc.

Worst in general? The raptor based mossberg that would toss the bolt back through your eye socket.
