The Remington 788, initially an economy bolt-action rifle, surprised with exceptional accuracy, often outperforming the Model 700. Its unique rear-locking bolt design with nine lugs, combined with a thick receiver and recoil lug, contributed to its stability and benchrest performance. While early models featured walnut stocks, later ones used hardwood. Common upgrades include trigger replacements due to a safety flaw.
