[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 900779, member: 10178"] I shot a number of 788s back in the day when I used to do sight-in work for a gun shop. Most were very good shooters. Triggers were a little heavy though. They make after market triggers for them now, Brownells has them I think. For deer the 90 gr Nosler ballistic tip or most any 100 gr bullet is what you want. If deer will be more of a priority with an occasional varmint like ground hogs the 90 gr ballistic tip would be a good one bullet choice. One of the 4350s would be a good powder. For a dedicated varmint and occasional deer you really need two loads. NO VARMINT BULLET should be used for deer because the 6 Rem really moves them and they really come apart on impact. Does your rifle have the long barrel or the short 18"? I can't remember if they made the 6 Rem in the short barrel or not since it would really hamper it. [/QUOTE]
