I came away with an exactly opposite opinion of the 783... It is ugly, there is no point in looking for aftermarket stuff for the 783 unless it just happens to also fit the 700, because no one will be making it.
The trigger is beyond horrible and probably not an easy fix...
The bolt handle has to be the ugliest in the industry, even the A-Bort with its similar lozenge-shaped knob has a little grace in the canting, not to mention the functionality... the 783 has none...
The tight fit on the loading port is going to lead to lots of swearing in the general vicinity of handloaders and those with a need to get a single cartridge into the chamber in a hurry.
The Howa/Vanguard is a lot more rifle for the money.
