[QUOTE="Gene R., post: 987303, member: 35256"] On the way home I stopped at a local pawn shop where i finally found a Remington 788 to actually hold in my hands. Had read good things about this gun, especially short actions. The stock was pretty beat up , but the receiver and barrel looked pretty good, the bolt felt a little sloppy ( is this normal for this model; 22-250 ),with a very old nikon 3x9, he was asking 385.00. [B][I]Two things I would consider is 1- it's a older rem and lord knows if the throat is toast with it being a 22-250. 2- being older I would bet it has 1-12 1-14 twist so heavy .224 bullets are not a option. [/I][/B] I have looked at the mossberg and agree it would be a viable alternative if it was offered in .243, I like that it uses AR mags and has a nice stock. [B][I]They also make a patrol model but I believe it is in 308 with ar10 mags. Kinda reminds me of Savage hog hunter.[/I][/B] Haven't heard anyone comment on Howas....... anyway I'll keep ya'll posted, and Keep the comments and opinions coming E[/QUOTE] [B]They make vanguard line for Weatherby they are said to be great guns also/ I'd buy Howa before t/c or Ruger American .
