I have used a harris bipod on my factory stock, and my brother in law has quite a bit. Haven't had any issues so far. I'm sure it isn't as durable as a stud, but its been fine. That said, I use that rifle as a lightweight hunting rig and I don't hunt with a bipod on it. I use my pack or a pair...

If it was a magnum bolt face (doubt it) the floating head is interchangeable and can be replaced. Like a savage. Pt&g makes replacements that are better steel than stock to stand up to 1000s of rounds. Remington 783 Bolt Heads - Pacific Tool and Gauge Stock replacements are available too...

Gotcha, I just saw you mention a couple posts ago that those suggested cartridges were short action so I thought I'd throw it out there. I didn't know 6.5-284 was short action, never been around it, I figured it was long. :)

OH and BTW, a long action makes for a sweet short action cartridge receiver when your using long bullets seated way out to not intrude on case capacity. My 7mm-08 is built on a long action, and I use 180 and 195 bergers seated with only the boat tail below the neck. Works great and I can load...

PDC makes a chassis for the 783 as well, though I can't find their site now on Google...

The lss is available for long action and short action. Go look again. The hs3 is short action only at this time

Sorry, double post from moderator delaying the original

4 springs for 4 rifles for 4 bucks. Cheapest trigger job I've ever seen. They are stainless steel springs as well. I really like the sear safety with the cut spring and the 1 pound pull weight, makes the trigger almost feel like a 2 stage, because once you take up the safety blade, its just a...

Everbilt, Spring Assortment Kit (84-Pack), 15642 at The Home Depot - Mobile That's the spring kit from home depot I used. There are 4 springs in that kit that will work. Compare your existing trigger spring to the springs in the kit, you'll see 4 that are an exact match in length and width...

Hey, been lurking on this site and just decided to join so I could reply to this thread. I own 3 Rem 783's that I got for 199 each as well. One was an '06 but now its a pac-nor #8 28" 8 twist 7mm-08 (long action so I have plenty of room for the berger 195's). In a boyds pro varmint stock...
