[QUOTE="knc1105, post: 547934, member: 23577"] I got the last (4) .243 mags the guide had left and that was a long time ago. The were new factory mags. I have (2) -788's both in 243. I bought them for my mom and dad for Christmas decades ago. After they passed I ended back up with them. They are still prestine and I'm saving them for my teenagers. Both have floated barrels and trigger work, and good mounts and rings. My mom's has a 3-10x44 Mil-Dot, my dad's was iron sights but I set it up for a windy day prairie dog rifle with a 6.5-20 x 44 mil-dot. I have never set-up to reload for them because I don't shoot them much, but they both shoot a ragged hole with Federal 100 gr factory ammo. And Wal-mart has it so cheap I never reloaded the 243's. Nine locking lugs and a faster lock time, a some other secrets, and they really shoot. When you see one for sale they usually bring considerably more than a 700. [/QUOTE]
