[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2776336, member: 385"] The Remington 783 is a fine rifle. I set one up for a neighbor; scope, zero and all. Steel pillars in stock. Really nice trigger. Quality barrel. Well built detachable magazine. Its a solid step up from Remington's base rifle. If I didn't buy the 783 I'd be seriously looking at the Ruger American. Caliber is a choice. The venerable .30-'06 will do most anything if you choose the correct load and bullet weight. Commonly available caliber and potentially accurate to boot. Store-bought ammo in it easy to come by in 130, 150 and 180 gr bullet weights. Bullets for reloading it run from about 100 gr to about 220 gr. [/QUOTE]
