Remington 783 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Gun is great..scope is junk.

I bought this for my teen daughter to use whitetail hunting. The price was good, I bought Hornady Lite recoil ammo for it. But the scope that comes on the gun is worthless. To me the 'combo' is very deceiving. I spent $350. for this. Then put a $300. scop

Horrible rifle!

I purchased the 783 heavy barrel model in .223. First fault with the rifle is the action. It takes brute force to get this to load and unload. Second is the magazine. You cant load any more then one round in it or it will throw the other rounds in the cha

poor quality

The problem with the Remington 783 300 mag. is the clip. You can load the clip with 3 shells place clip in the gun pull the bolt back and all the shells pop out of the gun.I can't believe a major gun co. would make a poor designed clip for a nice 300 mag

Fairly Decent Rifle

Got this as a .308. First thing I did before firing was to change scope to a 4-12x40 Nikon. Tried 4 different boxes of ammo and seems to like Remington brand the best. At least had the tightest grouping of 1/4 to 1/2 MOA while sighting in and after about

Can't argue for the price

I bought this in 7mm mag and it gets the job done. I may have got a bad scope but it won't even hold up to a pellet gun. Changed it after about 40 rounds and with the new scope, it's dead nuts. The barrel does heat up rather quickly, for the larger calibe

Remington 783

First time shooting the 300 win magI love this rifle has plenty of power to hunt anything on theNorth American continent is very accurate and the recoilis not as bad as I expected

Good Rifle

The Remington 783 is a good rifle for a great price. It's perfect for a beginning hunter or a good bolt action for the range. I bought one in 308 and it is a great shooter. My mom even took a couple shots.

3 Rounds to Sight In

I bought this particular rifle in .270 for Deer Hunting in Wisconsin because I've seen deer just out of range for my 30-30. Although this rifle comes with a scope, I opted to put on a Bushnell, Trophy XLT 3x9-40.

783 in 270

Bought this rifle 2 months ago and on my first afternoon out I took an 11 point, my personal best buck. This gun is very accurate and in 270 I have not noticed much recoil shooting 140 grain BTs. It shoots .5 inch groups with 3 shots at 100 yards.

Very impressed

Bought this rifle when it was on sale and had a $50 rebate. For the price I wasn't expecting a whole lot. I was blown away by how accurate this gun is. It shoots extremely tight groups and that's with a cheapy scope that came with it. I have recently upgr

Great bolt action rifle, good value

Remington produced a great rifle in the 783 model. It is rugged and wildly accurate. I'm very pleased with the rifle. I read the other reviews about folks not liking the scope; it works perfectly for me, yes its a no name scope but is very accurate. I eas

.223 Remington 783

What a great rifle! Right out of the box this gun shot a .5" group at 100 yards and 1.4" group at 200 yards in the wind with a hand load I guessed at. The scope is the only weakness to the rifle, it works and is consistent, as noted above, but a

Remington 783

Nice for the price gun and scope are capable for some serious hunting.

Best Hunting Starter Rifle

An amazing buy for a 700 model Remington. If you are just starting out with bolt action rifles, this is the way to go. Would recommend to everyone.

Doesn't work

The clip does not sit high enough to catch on the bolt and load a bullet. After googling the gun, it's a well known problem.I am super disappointed with this gun and have not even fired it once because it has been such a pain to get it to load a bullet fr

Scope Ring Issue

Save yourself some money on ammunition and don't leave the store after purchasing this gun without some good scope rings. Can't comment on the rifle or scope yet. I knew before purchase that most reviews said the scope wasn't very good. I was getting loos

One round

After putting a new scope and bore sighting my 300 Win Mag my 1st round was dead red. I went to shoot another round and the bolt would not lock down. I put in another round and same thing happened. Went from satisfaction to dismay.

almost

This is a great rifle easy on the buget the scope is a the reason they say you get what you pay for.. I am going to upgrade it before next hunt trip

Great Gun

Bought this in a .243 wow shoots great right out of the box. Changed the factory scope to an older one I had at home cause like other reviews said it isn't a very good scope. But the rifle itself is outstanding. Great Remington quality and you can't beat

pie plate accuracy

I needed to replace a sub moa Tika T3 with another rifle.I picked up the 783 for a song on clearance which should have told me something. After a long time spent working up loads with different weight bullets and powders, I was never able to group better

Value value value

Plenty accurate even with stock scope - and can't beat the price. Highly recommend for the budget conscious.

Great for price

My only complaint is the magazine dosent work right shells jam. I've ordered two replacement magazines will see if that fixes the problem. Scope is ok but suggest an up grade. But shoots awesome 1/2 inch groups after zeroed in.

Ok entry level

Just a good cheap basic entry rifle. Nothing to brag about. Can hold 1 inch moa at 200 yards with good Hornady ammo

EYE OPENER!

I acquired this rifle for a "spare" to alleviate having to loan out my higher-end rifles to relatives. I was skeptical after seeing Remington's last foray into budget rifles. ( remember the model 710?) I bought 2 boxes of Federal 180 Grain blue

Rem 783

For the price alone you can't go wrong, and boy does the gun shoot well.

Excellent

Spot on rifle with extreme accuracy!

Excellent gun

Great out of the box gun! Feels and handles great. Seems to like about any ammo shot through it, either reloads or factory. Very clean crisp trigger. Was going to lower to three pounds, but 3 1/2 feels great! As other reviews stated, I put a better scope

Remington 22-250

I've had Remington long rifle's for 35+ years. This rifle will not disappoint. The balance and bolt glide is enough to purchase this rifle. Not real comfortable with the "accutrigger" but that's from a lack of personal use..

My son's Xmas gift

I bought the Remington® Model 783™ Bolt-Action Rifle and 3-9x40 Scope Combo as a gift for my son and he could not be more pleased. He can not wate for the weather to break so that we can go to the range.

Great Rifle!

I bought myself this rifle for Christmas. It is a pleasure to shoot. I sighted it in at the range easily. The action is smooth and the scope which I was a little worried about is also good.

Great Beginners Rifle

Bought this rifle for my grandson to use for deer hunting. Easy for him to use and the price was affordable.

J Holmes Rifle Review

The gun itself is great and the combo deal with scope overall is a fantastic offer however, you will most definitely will want to upgrade your scope down the road.

783

Awesome rifle!!

Dad and his 13 year old

Its a big milestone day in a boys life when he gets his first rifle. Its a special day showing a transition in life to him that he is now maturing, responsible, and "allowed" to take the next step in a new passion. My son is a very average slend

Definitely Worth Considering

This was my first hunting rifle and I was really impressed by it. I bought it in 30-06 and have used it for both elk and target shooting. It preforms well enough in both for twice the price. Comparing it to my Dad's 700 BDL, it's like a cheaper version of

Get what you pay for

So what attracted me to this rifle was the price. You won't find another gun for this price... that being said. It was advertised as bore sighted but based on my first experience on the range that was not at all the case. The scope almost rattled itself o

Great Gun For A Great Price

This is my first gun purchase ever and everything went great average shipping speed but great service and it is a great gun. I have no complaints. I easily give it a 5 star rating for the price I payed!

More Bang for your Buck!

Bought one in .308 Win. Made some handloads to match factory loaded ammo ballistics. Shoots very well for a budget firearm. Groups just under an inch @ 100 yds. Can't say anything on the scope. Replaced the scope with a Nikon before shooting. Plan on buyi

champagne hunting on a beer budget

I really wanted a Remington 700 almost forever but couldn't afford it. When I read the stats on the 783 I was blown away and knew it's was going to be my new best gun and boy was I right. If you want a high quality gun that leaves $$$ for good glass this

Great rifle not so great scope!

Got the .223 Cal. Rifle was obviously not bore sighted! Thought Remington did that before Cabela's received them. So took some extra shells to zero at 100 yards! Make sure you check the thumb screws that hold the scope down one of mine became loose. I can

Good Rifle / Poor Scope

Got the Remington 783 for my son in a .270 version as an introductory rifle. It's well-built and easy to operate -- a little sticky on bolt as we're breaking it in. However, the scope included with the rifle is a dud. Sites were way off and the scope actu

.22-250

I bought this gun for coyote hunting and love it. I put a bi-pod on it for comfort. Would highly recommend it.

7MM

Bought this gun because of the price and boy was i surprised! First time out hunting shot a deer at 200yds and set it straight down, just goes to show you that ya dont have to pay thousands of dollars for gun. Will be buying another one in 30-06 cal. I hi

I buy most my guns at cabals I read the reviews and go from there this was no different ,you guys out there helped I got the 300 wm did not want to buy a lower price gun and regret it well I shot it and I love this gun! i have 700 in 308 but going to Colo

Superb value for money

Saw the price and positive reviews, so it was a no-brainer to get one of these. Remington evidently learned from their disastrous experience with their cheap 770 model rifles (rightly discontinued), so the 783 is a fascinating turnaround. Bought one in 24

Remington 783 in .223

This is by far the best rifle for the money! Took it to the range after installing a better Cabelas scope! Zeroed scope at 100 yds and you can cover them with a dime, about .5 MOA! Great rifle and a great shooter!

Bang for your buck

I have the 308 version. I've run 70 rounds through the rifle without a problem of any kind. I used 5 different brands of cartridges, including some very inexpensive ammo. I had tight groupings right out of the box and the sight was easy to adjust. A great

Rem 783 300 Win Mag

I bought the Remington 783 300 Win Mag. The bought this gun because of online reviews and the price. Was not thinking it was going to be as good as it is. This gun is the very accurate, inexpensive rifle I have. I am shooting Winchester 150 gr. InterLock

Tack Driver!!

Recently bought the Remington Model 783 in 300 Win Mag. I made this purchase based on internet reviews and the price range, not expecting perfection. I didn't get perfection, but I did get the MOST accurate, sub-moa rifle I've ever owned. Shooting factory

Good Buy

I bought this rifle this weekend in the 22-250 cal., shot it yesterday, zeroed 1" high @ 100. Very nice feel and accuracy, was definitely worth the money.

Good hunting rifle

I plan on getting this rifle in .243 ,read a lot of reviews and it looks like a good gun. It has a metal clip which is better than plastic. People say it shoots good groups at one hundred yards. I also own a Marlin .308win bolt action rifle, when Marlin w
