I think remington quit making them due to they hurt 700 sales. My dad bought a 308 with a scope not sure what it was for $99.00 in 1971. I think the 700's at that time was around $150.00. The 788's shot well and hell you could even have a scope for 50 bucks less. At that time $50.00 wasen't pocket change it was probably a car payment. My dad now has alshimer ( however spelled ) i have the gun and will never part with it, means so much to me is only deer rifle that he took me hunting with before i was old enough for license. What was surprising the range of calibers offered in this gun. Someone correct me but didn't they even offer it in a 30-30 also? I know of 223, 243, 22-250, and 308 was there any others?
