Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sarco has some NOS Remington 788 LA stocks

Sarco's part number STK413-7-1/16.

788 SA stocks are on backorder.

Learn something new every day. I didnt know Rem 788s came in long and short actions...what did they chamber in the long actions?

I think it would have been more accurate to call them short and mini rather than long and short
If I remember correctly the 308 family and the 30-30 were long action and the 223 family was short action
I had a 788 chambered in 243 and it was called a “long action”

Sarco referred the two different stocks as long and short which, I believe, denotes the different spacing distance between the action screws. Accordning to Sarco, the long action is 7 1/16" C2C and the short action is 6 3/4" C2C.

The only 788 that I have is a 308 in a McM Classic style stock and since I don't remember where I last left it, I can't verify what the action screw spacing is on that rifle is.
