Just rebarrel it to a fast twist 22-250 Rem or AI. Shouldn't cost too much.

I like 1 in 9" twist best in 22-250, for the 77gr SMKs or 70gr Barnes. Use a 1 in 8" twist barrel if you plan to shoot the 80gr SMKs.

I'm leaning towards doing something of that nature. I've got an old USA built Burris Signature 6-24 that will likely find a home there.

I always wondered just how good the 788 action could shoot with an excellent match grade barrel. I'm certain Remington didn't put any better of a barrel on them than they put on the 700s, and look how good the typical 788s shoot with their factory barrels compared to how well most 700s shoot.

Haven't come to my senses yet...
Would like to be in the 223, 204 class though. Maybe smaller but not too much.

morning, I have owned 6 788's 223AI, 4-243's and 6mm. I gave
most of these rifles to friends children. 1 I put a plastic stock,
hart 26" barrel #5.5 varmint contour, glassed. 95gr. vld.
would shoot bugholes. cal. 243AI. I still have the 223AI. the
only draw back to this rifle is the clip. very distasteful. fastest
firing pin to primer time advertised. short barrels r oked
for children. I rebarreled as wanted for barrel contour and length.
