duckhunter175 Report post Posted December 23, 2017 Got my hands on 3 more Rem 783- all in .270 and all with factory 3-9x40 scopes. They are going to be given to 3 lucky vets on a deer hunt here in TX in JAN. I took apart all 3 and cleaned them, properly remounted the scopes and adjusted the triggers down slightly. As they came out of the box all were in good shape but the scope mounting and torque on the action screws varied wildly from rifle to rifle. I torqued the action screws to 45in/lb and scope rings to 20. I boredighted then and hit the range today with the $19.99 Winchester Deer SeasonXP 130gr. They dialed in quickly. The limiting factor in the equation was the scope. Even at 100yd the glass was not great and it was difficult to focus. The large, thick crosshair made Precision difficult. My 783 .308 with a Prostaff Nikon was night and day difference. Here are the best groups of the day all 3 shot consistently. There was some shooter error but they all got at or under 1. Here is my 783 .308 with a Nikon and Hornady factory 168gr Amax. Looks like pics got rotated a little. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
