Deer Camp Design: Remington's Model 783 (Page 2)
The latest Remington bolt-action rifle is affordable, accurate and modern, but the Model 783’s design started with ideas formed by a group of hunters—who also happen to be executives at America’s oldest gunmaker.

As a side note, that questionable box of ammunition was returned to the manufacturer for inspection and to determine the cause of the overpressure load. Once evaluated, appropriate recalls and warnings will be issued.
After working with the Model 783 in .30-’06 Sprg., I’m more impressed now with Remington’s newest than I was last fall with one of the first off the assembly line. The rifle is a joy to shoot, pleasingly accurate and a tremendous bargain for the money. In fact, it would be a good bargain even at Remington 700 prices, which start at $100 more.
None of us should be surprised. After all, three experienced hunters sitting around a campfire designed the 783. That, in my mind, is exactly how a real hunting rifle should be developed. Yep, a lot of things that happen at deer camp should stay there. We should all be glad that the concept of this rifle didn’t. In my opinion the Model 783 is the best new hunting rifle of 2013—at any price point.
