[QUOTE="just country, post: 1252279, member: 82689"] morning, the 788 was advertised as the fastest firing pin to primer striking time. was a favorite for small rifle competition shooters. I bought one from a person calif. that was being used for comp. shooter. had the receiver rechambered for .223AI. cal. has a 29" SS shilen #5 contour barrel. the stock was butchered. I put on a stocky's B&C stock. glass bedded the stock. added bird shot to the rear of the stock for weight. very picky about bullet weight. I shoot berger 75gr. match bullets, 27.5gr. Tack powder, fed. 205 match primers, and ww brass. extremely accurate. I"ve had 4 of these cheap rifles. $78.00 in the day. match the bullet to the barrel and u will have a very fun little rifle. would I rebarrel, restock a rem. 788. yes I would. this rifle is a classic. just my opinion??lightbulb:)gun) [/QUOTE]
