IMO your 788 would have to be in pretty bad shape before I would make that trade.
Also IMO that cartridge is not catching on. And the ammo is priced through the roof. Also if your are serious about 500 yard and beyond shooting, then neither rifle is optimum(or even acceptable in my mind). Tom.
I have to agree. Keep the 788! They are plain,no nonsense,very dependable and accurate rifles.
I'm not a fan of any short/ultra mag cartridge.
