I bought a 788 in 22-250 in 1974 I think it was. It shot well. I would agree with cra1948's description. Mine had a rather poor trigger and the "hardwood" stock. I think I paid $100 for it but I'm not certain.
In '77 I bought a Remington Mohawk 600 chambered in 308. It, too, shot well and had a very heavy trigger. It had enough recoil that it wasn't much fun to shoot after 15-20 rounds of heavily loaded Sierra 180 gr boat tails. It always made me glad I hadn't bought one of the 350 Rem mags!
Anyway, both were decent rifles and I wish I hadn't traded them away.
