For Sale WANT TO TRADE: Super Clean Remington 788 carbine 7mm-08 for a Rem700 “Classic”.

[BALLISTICJESUS]

I have a super clean Remington Model 788 Carbine (18.5 bbl). Chambered in 7mm-08. The 7mm-08 in the 18.5" carbine model was only produced in 1980. This rifle is in incredible condition for being 44 years of age. Excellent bore.

I have collected Remington 700 "Classic's" for many years. I would like to trade this beauty of a 788 for a Remington Classic. I'm open to chamberings. Please message me if you find a trade interesting.

I would sell the rifle outright, cash price for $850.00.

You should be careful about taking these rifles down to the range. It's one thing to look at it and think "I should sell this one" but if you shoot it, you might change your mind.

No kidding! I just shot this group . I had never shot the rifle. I figured I might shoot it to make sure it's good to go. This is with factory Barnes VOR-TX ammo @ 100 . Ammo I use in a different rifle.

Too bad they didn't do a 9.3x62 in a "Classic".
