Custom Remington Model 788 – .308 Winchester – Mannlicher-Style Stock – Bushnell ScopeChief 1.5-4.5x – Padded Leather Sling

Offered here is a beautifully customized Remington Model 788 bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, featuring a distinctive full-length Mannlicher-style walnut stock, vintage Bushnell ScopeChief 1.5-4.5x variable-power scope, and padded leather carrying sling.

The Remington Model 788 was introduced in 1967 and earned a reputation for impressive accuracy and dependable performance. Its rear-locking bolt design and solid construction made it a popular hunting rifle, and well-preserved examples continue to attract interest among Remington enthusiasts.

What makes this particular rifle stand apart is its handsome custom Mannlicher-style stock. Unlike the standard factory stock, this beautifully fitted hardwood furniture extends nearly the entire length of the barrel, giving the rifle an elegant European sporting appearance.

The stock features attractive walnut grain, finely checkered wrist and forearm panels, contrasting decorative accents, and a ventilated recoil pad. It is a particularly striking combination of American bolt-action design and traditional European sporting-rifle styling.

Mounted above the action is a vintage Bushnell ScopeChief 1.5-4.5x scope, an attractive period-style optic that complements the rifle’s classic appearance. A padded leather sling is also included.
