[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1109184, member: 41338"] Most reviews are on the 30-06 and they seem to do fine. I got a 308. It shot Federal Gold Match at about 1-1/4". Other brands of factory ammo weren't so good. That said, most are said to shoot moa-ish. The bolt failed to pick up rounds from the magazine so frequently, I just quit trying and put them in one at a time from the loading port. I called Remington about it and they said they'd send me another magazine and they did... two months later. I had two questions that I e-mailed to customer service and never heard back from them. For a plastic stock, it's not nearly as bad as some of them and the pillars make sense. There seem to be two relief cuts in the barrel threads that can only be seen by taking the barrel off so there are a few fewer threads to tie the barrel to the action. The trigger is O.K. for what it is. It's a great beater rifle and there's quite a bit of support coming on. Pacnor and Criterion are making prefit barrels. EGW makes a 0 and 20 moa base. PTG makes bottom metal to accommodate AI mags as well as bolts and bolt heads and Boyd's now makes stocks for the 783. Seems like you'd probably get your moneys worth if you left it alone or fixed it up. I wouldn't pay retail. [/QUOTE]
