Remington 788 .243 Winchester with Leupold M8 4x scope, used very nice rifle, beautiful bore, selling for a boat project, buyer to do transfer in Bend or Lapine, 60 rounds of ammunition included
"788, Remington did an amazing thing. They didn't simply cheap down their successful, upscale Model 700. Rather, they designed a whole new action. The outstanding feature of the action is the lockup, which is accomplished by nine lugs (three sets of three) located at the rear of the bolt. This allows a short bolt throw and a fire control design that gives a very fast lock time. The receiver is heavy-duty tubular steel with a relatively small ejection port cutout. This gives the action great rigidity and contributes to accuracy. In general, the 788 would be classified as a short-action arm. However, and this is incredible, Remington varied the action length to match the caliber of the arm. "
