Just scored a super clean Rem788 in .308 Win.

Always liked the 788 since I was young. Got a call from the guns shop letting me know one was just traded.

Not a bad score at $250.00

Notice the prior owner mounted the scope with the windage adjustment up and the elevation left. Gotta love it!

Good score. Does it eject wonky? Perhaps that was the reason for the scope mountage gone awry.

nice score!  I killed quite a few animals when I was a kid with my 788 308.  I have two now and love them except for the safeties

Ive used the Blue Box the most, good stuff. I figured at today's prices for components. At 18.00 a box it's almost the exact cost to reload it, less my time and of course after firing I have the brass.

Picked up a case of .308 FMJ stuff for the Sig 716's.
