RE: 788 remington
The 788 has rear locking lugs, the 7 has forward locking lugs. The 788 has a detachable magazine, the 7 doesn't. The 788 is a full sized rifle while the 7 is more compact. The 788 is out of production, the 7 isn't.

The 788 also had a very fast lock time which helped it gain a reputation as a good shooter. I had four or five of them. The bolt handle came off a few of them including one of mine.
