[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1092650, member: 41338"] We'll see. How long did Savage/Stevens take it on chin before they were appreciated? I was around when you couldn't hardly find a factory rifle that had a trigger that didn't need immediate fixing or would shoot under 2-1/2". Gun writers hated Savages but fortunately, Shooters started spending their money on guns that worked. No doubt everything about the 783 is cheap but it'll still take game reliably (if you don't count my magazine not feeding properly), which is something. Heck, I've supplied camp meat taken with a rock delivered by my arm so an inexpensive rifle just might find a place to be useful. Decently adjustable trigger, pillar bedding and a fair recoil pad seem like a step in the right direction for a $200 gun. The barrel nut accommodates some DYI projects which can be fun. There's some fair aftermarket support from PTG, Boyd's, Criterion, Pacnor and Northland Shooters Supply. Despite Remington's dismal QC reputation, I'm still looking forward to seeing some 783 projects. [/QUOTE]
