Remington Model 788 308 Win Bolt Action Rifle 1978
This lot features a Remington Model 788 .308 Win Bolt Action Rifle 1978. The rifle features 22" barrel, 3 round magazine, walnut stock, and scope mount. The Remington 788 is a bolt-action, centerfire rifle that was made by Remington Arms from 1967 to 1983. It was marketed as an inexpensive yet accurate hunting rifle to compete with other gun companies' less expensive rifles alongside their more expensive Model 700 line. The 788 utilizes a single-column detachable magazine holding 3 rounds. The Remington 788 receiver is more rigid and stronger than most, if not all, competing designs, including the Remington 700 which shares the same outside receiver diameter. A rifle's accuracy tends to increase slightly as the rigidity of the receiver increases, as this slightly reduces barrel deflection during firing. Thus the Remington 788 has the structural foundation to be a very accurate rifle. The rifle is in good condition, with some light wear from use. The rifle was manufactured in 1978. It is a modern rifle and requires FFL transfer or NICS background check. Serial number is B6024944. The overall length is 41 1/8"
