a Remington 788 om .243 win mag. I know where one is for sale. What a great piece of history.
I have said it many times here over the years. The .243 is a great cartridge. Very versatile.This message has been edited. Last edited by: old rugged cross,

Had to look it up, as I'd never seen a single barrel rifle with 2 triggers. Learned something new today (double set trigger).

jeweling is the twirly pattern you see on the rifle bolt. it is mostly cosmetic. however, jeweling marks are tiny little grooves in the metal and, therefore, they do trap a film of oil to lubricate better (same thing is done on the inside of engine cylinders.)

Nice looking guns guys, I especially like the Winchester’s. I’m currently trying to work out a deal with a guy for a kimber classic 30-06.

I traded a SIG mosquito & 4 mags for this Remington 788 in .243 It was in good shape but I wanted to refinish the stock. It had its own thread a few years back. This rifle is a very sweet shooter. Great all around cartridge.
