The reviews are actually not bad. I almost bought one. It felt like junk and I really like Remington. The bolt was flimsy and rattled around. I bought the Stevens instead. Better ratings for the price. The 700 beats them both. Just depends on how much you want to spend.Has anyone heard of the 783? Has anyone shot one? Has anyone shot both and can give us a comparison of the two? I was looking at them at $410 for a bolt action .308 is a great deal, but it got me wondering why they're so cheap compared to the 700s.
