southernxpress Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Actually I know the .308 in the 788 is considered a long action unlike in say a REM 700... I recently purchased a new stock for my 788 and almost screwed up and ordered the short action stock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southernxpress Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Take a look at backpage... Just a couple days ago there was a .308 listed for $425.. I just looked at it was still posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted May 30, 2013 You just looking for a faster lock time? The Tubbs kit for a 700 is pretty nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curtis25 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 hello the above calibers are long action for the 788 . I am going to look at the one on backpage this weekend but i would like to buy from a coueswhitetail member thanks. I like the lock time on the 788 it is a very accurate not that the 700 is not just like the feel for the 788 i am going to restock them with good walnut .

romytfd Report post Posted May 30, 2013 I have a 788 in 243 and it is a tack driver. Painted it Remington 700 Blue with Duracoat. And rattle canned paint & textured the stcok. came out beautiful. I put a timney trigger on it because I was having problem with the safety. If you can find one in decent shape keep it. It's a great all-round rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
