Remington 783, .243

[Gunnie88]

Built this custom .243 for my daughter a few years ago when she was 12. Being a 700 snob I took the plunge with the 783 action and I’m pretty impressed. It’s smooth a glass, so all we did was built the custom walnut thumbhole stock, bedded the action, through on a Vortex 6-24x DB tactical and dialed it in at 100. She’s been happy shooting steel out to 1000 yards. We’ll push it further this year but overall, I give this build two thumbs up.

My first rifle was one of these in the same caliber. It's sub moa with 55 and 100gr factory ammo. I'd like to see them in stainless one day.

I built a 6br on a 783 action. Criterion prefit barrels are available for them. The factory trigger is light years ahead of the x mark junk on a 700. Overall I really like the action. It’s definitely my choice for a good budget action.
