[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 544939, member: 10291"] Agreed, the 788 was and still is a great shooter. My buddy has one that shoots as well or better than a lot of the "new school" rifles. One correction. The Remington sniper rifle adopted in 1967 by the military was a modified Remington 700 ADL in 308. It was parkerized with a heavy varmint barrel, military sling, and a receiver modified to accept a stripper clip. A few years ago Remington produced a run this these with continued, original serial numbers, commemorating the Scout Sniper Association. I managed to get one. Out of the box this rifle shoots extremely well with .5 MOA with factory Federal 168 Match ammo. [/QUOTE]
