Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 788 is a highly respected bolt-action rifle that developed a legendary reputation for exceptional accuracy and value, often outperforming more expensive rifles of its era. Manufactured by Remington Arms from 1967 to 1983, the Model 788 was originally introduced as an economical alternative to the flagship Model 700, but its impressive performance quickly earned it a loyal following among hunters and target shooters. Chambered in a wide variety of cartridges including .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, .243 Winchester, .308 Winchester, 6mm Remington, and others, the rifle utilized a unique rear-locking bolt with nine locking lugs that provided a short bolt lift and contributed to its remarkable accuracy potential. The Model 788 also featured a detachable box magazine and a rigid cylindrical receiver design that helped deliver excellent consistency and shot-to-shot precision. Despite its relatively plain appearance and budget-oriented origins, many shooters found the rifle capable of producing accuracy that rivaled custom-built firearms, making it particularly popular among varmint hunters and precision-minded sportsmen. The strong action, crisp trigger characteristics, and heavy barrel options available on some models further enhanced its reputation as one of the finest factory rifles for the money. Ironically, the 788's outstanding accuracy reportedly contributed to its discontinuation, as it began competing too closely with Remington's more expensive Model 700 line. Today, the Remington 788 is highly sought after by collectors and shooters alike, appreciated for its uncommon design, proven field performance, and well-earned status as one of the most accurate production rifles of its generation.
