[QUOTE="Texanjohn, post: 1931475, member: 47686"] The 788 was Remington’s answer to the cheaper rifle,They shoot, and shoot well BUT the action lacks the solidness to take heavy loads, one reason it was not offered in anything heavier then a 308, the locking lugs at the REAR of the bolt means that head space can go south if you push its limits. They do bring respectable prices because the shoot so well, with one of the fastest lock times ever and a good barrel, they a great shooters. [/QUOTE]
