I have 2 of the 788 model both in 22-250. Both are tackdrivers. Bought them back around 1975 or so. Maybe 76. I remember I paid $119 for one and it came with a universal 4X32 thin wire reticle scope. Killed lots of coyotes with that set up first few years i had it. Now one is retired and locked up in my safe. One is still my daytime calling gun. Not for sale at any price..... well almost any. Some one throw me a price with lots of zeros at the end....... maybe !!

You should make your bed.

I have one in 243. Coyote, deer, antelope. Would not part with it.
It is more blessed to give than to receive

Last gun show i hit had one in 6mm but they wanted 750 for it. I probably would have pulled the trigger.

Only gun I have ever sold was a 22-250 in 788. Glad it' s long gone. It shot well. Clunky, heavy, stock that didn't fit well. Magazine at the balance point, hard to pack. Magazine rattled constantly unless you just put it down. Magazine release in the way so it kept dropping the mag out. Lost a mag. Tried to replace it and couldn't find one. Didn't like the locking lugs on the bolt. Replaced it with a Savage. Never have missed the 788. That’s funny got rid of one of Remington’s most accurate rifles for a Savage. I wouldn’t walk across the street for any Savage bolt action.
