I just am getting back into hunting and target shooting. I just picked up a Remington 788 from 1967, 22-250, with Tasco Scope and 2 magazines. It has the birch stock, and the stock is pretty worn. The mechanisms seem in really good shape, and I am eager to get it to the range for test firing and zeroing.

I paid $250 (US).

Was that a good deal?

What can you tell me about the 788?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
