**SOLD*** Remington Model 788 Bolt Action Rifle Chambered in .223 Remington **Fixed 6 Power Scope and Mounts

Description:
**SOLD*** Here we have a very nice Remington 788 bolt action rifle chambered in .223 Remington 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 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 excellent condition with light handling marks no major dings or dents and very good bluing. The 24" barrel has bright and shiney bore and strong rifling. The iron sights have been removed from the rifle. This fiine rifle would be an excellent varmint rifle and a solid addition to an existing collection.
