Title: Just scored a super clean Rem788 in .308 Win.
Post by: Biggerhammer on December 24, 2012, 11:03:33 AM: 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

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.
