Remington 783 in 30-06

Anyone have one? Seems like a great rifle at an extra ordinary price. Dicks has them for $279 this week.

I bought a Savage .308 last year... Similar in price. The savage is stupid accurate and the accu trigger is sweet.

The Mrs is going to get me one for Christmas. I'll let you know how it turns out. From everything I read it's a solid rifle and shoots tight repeatable groups at 300yds. Can't wait!

Just picked one up this morning. I will let you know my review shortly. Read good things online about it

Here's my conclusion. Solid rifle, good feel, very accurate.

Pros:
I was only using a single shooting stick so bench reaults should be better. Started at 100 yds and had a 2",group at 5". high to start. Made some adjustments. Shots 1-2 were at 100 yds. Shots 3-4 were "shooter error". I ended up moving to 150 yards and broke a stick to give me a cross support and ended up with 1.5" group.(shots 5,6, and 7) I was pleased for "free hand" shooting without a bench.

Cons :
have to make sure bullets are moved all the way back in the magazine or they won't load correctly. There is a little play in it. Once you do it there are no problems ( more human error than gun)

And last is the scope. It will work but its not the best. Obviously for the price it isn't top notch.

Overall very pleased with comfort, feel, trigger, and accuracy. I would recommend to someone looking for a dependable rifle at a good price.

Sweet. I've read that it will also prefer certain ammo and that it is best to try several different kinds. Heading out to grab one momentarily. Thanks for the review!

I only used winchester 180 grain power points today. Being my first day I was concentrating on getting some solid rounds through it and honestly after the last group of 1.5" @ 150 yds I may not change anything.

Agreed 1.5" is fantastic by my standards. Just put mine in the safe. Ok won't be able to get it out for a little bit but I'm confident it'll do the job.
