Re: Behind The Bullet---243-Winchester

Quote:
When I was a kid, Remington used to run those ads for the 788 on the back cover of hunting magazines and I always wanted one. Couple of years ago I was in a pawn shop and came across one in 243 for $300 out the door so I bit. Love it for a truck gun.
That 788 was a hell of a bargain really...most I saw shot very well and had incredible trigger time..
Same as the caliber...used one a lot for a lot of years, like you, as a truck gun..used it on everything from prairie dogs to elk..with pronghorn, deer, bear in between...
