I've got 2 of the 799's.
A 7.62x39 and a .223. Both great shooters. Did a trigger adjustment and polished the bolt and raceways.
Added Weaver K6 scopes and have a blast with both.

Since Remington put such crappy laminate stocks on these, I just treat 'em as beaters.

The 7.62 is one of my all time favorite rifles. 150 yd. deer/hog rifle and yotes out to 200.
