788
I traded and acquired a rem 788 in .243 have wanted a 788 for along time just one of the older guns I want in my collection I hear there accuracy isn't bad for a 18.5 inch barrel but yet to shoot it hopefully this weekend, be a cheaper and little break from the big magnums I love so much to shoot ,hope my sendero rile doesn't get jealous

yeah I was surprised how much these old guns were going for luckily a buddy had it and knew I had been wanting one for a long time its not the caliber of my choice I wanted something smaller but it will work. I keep hearing how accurate they are hope to get to shoot it soon
