looking at these...guy has 3...wondering which one might be the best long range gun..for my son to shoot some distance...223 with a 75 g rd should be pretty decent

I would go with #1 as long as the barrel is not a hunting contour(skinny), and the twist is 9 or faster. Free float stock a plus.

#3 would be next for same reason. #1 & #3 then #2 in that order. Only because there is a ton of aftermarket support for the 700 action. 788 not so much.

I have shot for years and still do, 75gr and heavier bullets in 600yd F-class matches. Perfect combo for a young shooter to learn this game.

dang! thanks man..obviously you know more than me...thanks ! how much more support can these guns need? I have a ton of sieraa 75 gr I shoot in my tikka....this a compareable shooter ya think...the 700's

[Arkhangel5]

DB,
What I meant for support was aftermarket addons.

For the R700 action, you can get triggers, stocks, detachable mag setups, pre fit barrels, scope rails, and on and on.

R788, the aftermarket selection not on the same level.

Even for your Tikka there is not the same level of aftermarket upgrades as there is the the R700.

I'm not a disiplined marksman by any stretch, but: I'd go with #3.
Bull barrel, 24" (your younging may handle better) and...pretty wood stock.
He'd have to be extra careful protecting the wood and it's not free floating though.
#1's tacticool artificial stock" (I'm old skool) will absorb more abuse.

So, the general concensus is that you can't go wrong with 1 or 3..the 700s
If they're about the same price....then Dad, let the young man decide!!!!
How cool would that be??

price is getting up there...into the mid 600 for either 700...the 788 is 400...I want 1...or 3...I like 3 but 1 is probly better...thanks..

[dieselbeef]

well due to some shady internet shit I only got the 788..both the 700 were sold for the same price as my high bid..but not to me....and the auction ends as the lot hits the numbers...not all at once at 5 pm like I thought....item goes on the block and then it ends..idk how they figure what time it is...its kinda shady I thought but...so im gonna see if I can find a good stock..magpul or boyds or something for it

[Gunnyhiway]

I would have bought #3.
Make it into an M40 clone like mine.
