[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 329610, member: 16954"] Back in the '70s I had a Rem 788 in 6mm. It was cheap, plain and not really attractive. It killed deer at 250+ yds like a lightning bolt. It smacked chucks with authority at 350+. It would vaporize sage rats out to 300. At the range it stacked alot of bullets atop one another, right in the 200yd bull. It had an old, heavy Weaver k6 on it. When I went in to get more scope for it, to extend it's reach, I heard those fateful words: Lesson: Just because it's cheap and ugly doesn't mean it won't shoot! I would **** near kill to have that rifle back. And every time I find one to replace it, the price is 4 times what I sold that one for!! Apparently I was the only one that didn't know the true value of the 788Rem in light calibers! [/QUOTE]
