[QUOTE="mightyman, post: 900781, member: 51634"] I had for a long time, sold last year a Left Hand Model 788 in 6mm. It was a great rifle, and shot 1/2 inch groups with the 100 grain Nosler partitions, factory federal. It was a rare gun, (being left hand in the 6mm) and i hated to get rid of it, but it funded my new project. The action is very good, strong, and I think it had 9 locking lugs, 60 degree bolt, which mad for a strong fast action. One of the problems I read about is that the bolt was weak, and broke on some actions, but mine never did... It was the inexpensive Remington at the time, and actually some say better than the 700 action. From what I have read/been told it makes for a great custom action for a custom rebuild. It is perfect for a kid starting out, or for that matter anyone. It truly was a great shooting gun, and a true deer slayer...enjoy, Mighty Man [/QUOTE]
