**SOLD** Remington Model 788 Bolt Action Rifle in .30-30 Caliber **Rare Caliber in this Rifle - Weaver 3-9 Scope and Rings.

Description:
**SOLD**  Presented here is a very nice Remington Model 788 bolt action rifle chambered in .30-30 caliber. The Remington 788 is a bolt-action, centerfire rifle that was made by Remington Arms from 1967 to 1983. It was marketed as an inexpensive yet accurate hunting rifle to compete with other gun companies' less expensive rifles alongside their more expensive Model 700 line. The 788 utilizes a single-column detachable magazine holding 3 rounds. The Remington 788 has two distinguishing design features. The first is the rear-lugged bolt. The bolt has nine lugs in three rows of three lugs each. They lock into the receiver behind the magazine well. Due to this design, the bolt handle lifts only 60 degrees on opening giving more clearance for scopes compared to the 90 degrees required for the Model 700 and other two-lug rifles. The second distinguishing feature is the receiver. It has a smaller ejection port than similar bolt-action rifles, and no bolt lug raceways. The single stack magazine design yields a smaller feed opening in the bottom of the receiver compared to rifles using a double stack magazine well. This particular example is in good overall condition both physically and mechanically. It has some honest wear and some finish loss. The action is smooth and sure. The stock has a few pressure marks that have been earned over the years. This scarce rifle would make a great addition to a collection or an excellent woods gun for deer season. Weaver 3-9x scope and mounts are included. Reticle is of a light duplex type. Very nice rifle. Iron sights are still intact. Unfortunately someone very lightly engraved the initials "OSR" on the back of the right side of the barrel just in front of the receiver (seen most clearly in photo 16).
