I'll take my lickin'. Won't be the first time, I was mistaken, but I'll admit it freely.

But.......now I am confused. Are we saying (forget the long and short labels) that Remington made the 788 in 3 action sizes, to include not just the magazine, but action screw spacing and bolt lengths?

Finally, as a bit of an aside, I read somewhere that Remington introduced the 788 as a competitor for the Mossberg 800/810 series, and when Mossberg dropped their entry into the centerfire business, Rem nixed the 788 shortly thereafter.
