    I had a 788 in .243 that shot 5/8" groups exactly like my 700 Varmint in .243. I sold the 700 to a stranger and the 788 to my cheap brother. He slew a slew of deer with that rifle.

    I've never seen a 6mm LH, didn't know they existed. A buddy from high school used his dad's 788/243 several deer seasons, and it shot 1" groups across the pickup hood with a rolled up coat for a rest, we didn't know any better back then, but even with crude shooting techniques it still shot great!

    They also came in 222 Rem, I had one. Most accurate rifle I ever owned! I have a 308 now and had a 222, 223 and a 243. All great shooter's!

    I have one in .243 I haven't shot in years because the trigger is so bad. Think I will get a Timney for it and start playing with it again!

    I currently have two , one in .222 and the other in .243. Both are tack drivers. Shot bunches of whitetails over the years with the one chambered in .243 . It's favorite load 34.7g of 4064 under a 100g Sierra Gameking SPBT . Absolute death ray. CASTER

    I have a 788 in 6mm LH that i bought new in 1972 for a grand total of $90.00!
    Installed a Canjar set trigger in it shortly after i got it. Still have it and it ain't goin' nowhere!

    This is my 788 in .222 . The squirrel tail is from a fox squirrel I head shot from a big oak tree about 75 yards away. Click image for larger version.
