    Rem 788 in 6mm

    It seems that everyone I know that has a 788 has a 4x weaver on top. It was a very popular scope back then. Both were very inexpensive.

    Rem 788 in 6mm

    One of the best grouping out of the box rifles I ever saw was a 788 in 6mm rem and with factory 100 corelocks to boot. I'd 600 was good place to start. Does it have a 4x weaver mounted?
