superguide Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I took Sara's little .243 788 carbine with me checking cows this A'M I got a crack at a yote leaving a carcass-not real far but he folded. It's a nice little rifle to shoot Dad might have to borrow it more often lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Re: SWEET LITTLE 788 Mine isn't a carbine, but I really like my Remington 788 as well (.243)!! Shot everything from gophers to whitetail deer with it. And it won't break the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: SWEET LITTLE 788 Oh yeah, it was one of Remington's "best ever built" guns. It was supposed to be a cheaper option for those that thought the 700 was too pricey. Mechanically, it is a stiffer action and will be more accurate than the 700, when all else is equal. Great guns.
