Remington Model 788 Bolt Action Rifle
Name: Steve
Location: Climax, just a few miles away from Smith Mountain Lake.
Contact: Cell # 540-493-4795 Home# 434-927-4123. I would prefer a phone call rather than emails because the response is much faster as I'm not always around the computer to check emails.
NEW PRICE: $475 NEGOTIABLE
This is a nice Remington model 788 bolt action rifle. The caliber is .243 winchester. It has a Ramline synthetic stock and the scope is a Swift 4x40 wide angle. The barrel is in good shape too as the rifling shows no signs of wear. Because of the short 60 degree bolt throw and a legendary reputation for accuracy these model 788's are demanding a good selling price. Alot of competition and benchrest shooters prefer the 788's over other guns because of these good qualities. This particular gun was my deer gun for a few years then I began handloading it to shoot groundhogs but I never got around to shooting any groundhogs. This is a sub MOA gun!!! Shooting a paper target at 100 yards with my handloads I have produced overlapping bullet holes.
I am also including the reloading dies and my handloads you see in the pictures. There are 71 handloaded bullets there. They have the 70 grain Nosler ballistic tips.
Just ask any questions you may have. Except don't ask for trades on anything. This will be a cash sale only. Oh and this will be done right. I won't be selling to anyone under legal age to buy a firearm and I won't sale to any felons. So be ready to show some ID if you plan on purchasing it.
Price is $550 with everything included in the pictures. I did my research before I decided my price. I wanted to ask a fair price and mine reflects that. I looked at other 788's that were beat and banged up that were selling for what I'm asking and more and some were just the gun with no extras.

Re: Remington Model 788 Bolt Action Rifle
Thanks for the compliment on the gun. I'm sure there would be no disappointments with whoever gets the gun. As a matter of fact I really don't want to sell it but I have a certain handgun I can't wait to get. So I must sell this rifle to make room for it. I'll miss it when it goes.

Re: Remington Model 788 Bolt Action Rifle
I let this thread die to soon. Gun is back up for sale with a new price of $475. I might negotiate a very little bit. Just a quick reminder, phone calls are faster than email if you want to get ahold of me.
