Well our clown world continues but I keep cranking out content you like. Thanks much for coming out to the vid. This is where I post mostly b. this is where the audience has stayed. BTW this review would not exist without TNP Donors, please consider joining long term. I’m so dumb how I operate it I don’t even have TIER levels there; you can join for a freakin’ $1. TNP Patreon is where the action is! www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy. Here's just some of the comments from TNP Patrons on this video that were previously posted by elite TNP Patrons: "Greg Malcom What a great late night surprise! Thanks Nutn! 2 1w The Nutnfancy Project You are welcome, thanks for staying up with me! 4 1w Todd Strelka I think I'll stay up for another hour and watch this. 4 1w The Nutnfancy Project You the man Todd 2 1w Patrick Brichta Whelp, so much for going to be early... 2 1w The Nutnfancy Project Sorry about that ;-) 4 1w Robert Avery Excellent 1 1w The Nutnfancy Project Nice 2 1w RowdyRon Cool stuff. I still don't have a bolt gun, but it's great to see how well this one performed. Thanks Nutn. 7d The Nutnfancy Project You bet, thanks much Rowdy 1 6d Lon N Get up at 3:0something to pee, wander to my desk to check on a hard drive cloning operation..... Happy times GRV. Thanks Nutn, cool surprise, I'll be sleeping in. I have a pre Accutrigger Savage Axis I bought from Wallyworld on closeout when the Accutrigger came in. Under $200 out the door. I free floated the barrel in the tupperware flexi-stock and did a redneck triggerjob on it, stoned the sear and striker, lighter trigger spring out of a ball point pen, and replaced the screw it sits on with a longer one for a trigger overtravel stop. It is astoundingly accurate with the Remington 30/06 180 gr PSP's I already had in stock. It keeps 3 shots touching a dime at my sight in distance of 235 yards proned out over my hunting daypack. Miracles of modern machining. A lightweight, cheap ass bambi blaster that tickles my redneck heart. 3 7d The Nutnfancy Project You got a great value shooter there Lon, wow. That Savage Axis is another great rifle. When people ask me what rifle to get for hunting it's a top rec' for sure. That caliber is perfect too. 1 6d Boone Mill Farm This went well with a cup of coffee this morning. Thank you Nutn. 1 7d The Nutnfancy Project You are welcome, glad you could come out Boone! 6d Josh I bought the 30-06 783 years ago from Sportsman Warehouse for under 400. Bolt handle and barrel have terrible bluing that needs a good layer of oil to keep from rusting. One of these days I'll give it a full paint over to save me the trouble. I'm glad you gave the 783 a good review since I've been thinking about getting rid of it for quite some time, as it kicks like a mule. I think I'll keep it a while longer, though I should've bought it in 308 to save my shoulder and my wallet some grief lol. 2 7d Cory Risseeuw Want to sell it? lol 7d Load 3 replies TheTopMostDog Thanks for the vid, mate! FYI, my local store (in Australia) has the lucky-13 10-round mag; i.imgur.com/FyqLJK0.png 2 7d The Nutnfancy Project Hello TopDog, thanks for saying hello from Australia, glad to have you here! 6d Pedro It’s crazy how good these more budget guns are getting. I like the the $$ cut is in stuff like stocks and finish vs barrels and actions like in older days. 1 7d The Nutnfancy Project Exactly Pedro 6d NatvMan This was the first gun I purchased years ago to go Elk hunting, mine is in 30-06. Shoots great and have a Leupold VX-2 3x9 on it. I would agree with the comment above, if you don’t keep it oiled it will rust. The finish isn’t that great. All in all it has been a great budget gun. 7d Lon N Perfect guns for some Krylon camo fun. As soon as my Axis got the scope mounted it was assaulted with rattle cans. 7d Andrey Shlyakt Even in bolt guns I am a capacity hog. I know for hunting you can't use more but more rounds in a long range tactical situation never seems like a bad idea. 7d Creative Mechanic I have the solution to that…. In a long range tactical situation ima just die lol. 100 yards is best I can shoot 7d Load reply Paul Griech i carry a 9lb remington 700 for deer season in PA by the end of the first day i’m wishing it was lighter! ITs a tack driver unless i foul up the shot! can’t believe Remington is out of business 6d Duane R. Anderson What are the odds my Brother in Law bought one yesterday in 7mm for $100. Of course I had to share the video with him! And ask him I'd he bought one for me too!!! 6d Rob Miller Great video. Thank You! 2 6d The Nutnfancy Project Thank you back! just now mike stevens Reminds me of your Ruger American ranch 7.62x39 review. Thanks for that one! I have one now and love it. 1 5d Creative Mechanic You better from RSV? 5d The Nutnfancy Project Yes I am, thanks for caring! I had it for 3 weeks, really a butt kicker just now JRP I'm a Browning fan myself, but a friend of mine has Remingtons and Savages and we both do just fine for your basic hunting situations. Thanks for the review Nutn. 5d Craig FFG - Fuck Freedom Group. Not only did they run Remington into the ground but also Marlin, H&R Firearms , Bushmaster, and others. 1 5d Tacticaldoodle But, but, the shareholder value!!! 3 4d Z-non Take your 180 lumen olight i3t to a 450 lumen beast by using a 10440 battery. Lighten everything 1 4d Harrison Nobles What silencer cover is that? 4d Andrettski I'm a little late to the party, my wife and I went on an Anniversary vacation. I'm not a hunter but still enjoyed the GRV. Looks like a real fun shooter. It's funny how accurate guns put smiles on our faces. $350, what's not to like? 3d Yams One of my favorite range guns is the savage axis XP. Spent like $200 on the thing, re-mounted the provided scope, and it’s been great since. When I’m looking to save Ammo, I just take this thing out and enjoy some precision shooting 1 3d Yams Been using the mossberg MVP (308) for longer range hunting and have been pretty happy with it. Worth a look. Though I’m a hipster with most of my hunting, since it’s usually between 0 and 100 yards, so I use a slug gun in a rifle state. And few things can beat the knockdown power of my savage 220 20 gauge sabot slug gun within that yardage. If you can find them, it’ll put Remington accutips within 1 inch at 100. That plus an aimpoint is my setup"
Love you Nutn! TNPer for 10 years! I’ll join patreon! Hold the line brother. We need you. Gear check me bro!
Hi Nuntn , remington is apparently back in business now and looks like these are back up on the new remarms webpage. So may get some new production of these soon.
20 moa scope mount?
Smith and wesson moving out of Massachusetts
@@joeyoung1973 yup. To my town
There's a reason that Remington discontinued the 788 back in the early eighties... Because it was a $99 department store rifle intended for poors that regularly outshot the expensive 700s. Remington couldn't have that. The 783 was close to the same story.
Yes. Value rifle as a tool vs expensive rifle as a toy.
Reminds me of wanting to poke fun at people who think they are special or tacti-cool. Kind of like pulling up to a guy in a Porsche and saying, "nice Volkswagen," because they are designed by the same engineers.
Lt Col is right. With this and other basic rifles ( I just added a TC Compass II to my little collection,) you can not only be effective at hunting, you could be effective at long range. If you are half MOA at 100 yards, that whole rifle is sub MOA. Which means you could shoot good groups at longer distance.
The TC rifles are guaranteed to be 1 MOA out of the box, first three rounds. And mine was true to that. I shot 1/2 MOA on the first two shots, before zeroing, just to verify the precision of the barrel. Even better, I was still shooting 1 MOA with a hot barrel once I changed to some different ammo.
My rifle weighed 7.5 pounds empty and bare. Which is not a deal breaker for me, at all. I would rather carry another pound for accuracy, if necessary and I think the barrel is thick enough to be accurate, as well as the enclosed action, similar to this 783. The TC is to be my hunting rifle on the move, since I hunt on public land. You can be hiking a few miles in a day. This is not a case of being on the edge of someone's field of milo and you ride a side-by-side to your elevated stand, so you only have to carry a few hundred yards in.
So, with the low price and relatively low weight, You can spend your budget on good stuff to make it better. I know this is about the 783 but I find it comparable to the TC, which has my direct experience. No bipod because bipods add weight. I have come to the conclusion that bipods are good for bench rest and competition shooting but not as practical for hunting unless you get the long ones. And for that, I just carry my Bog Pod tripod in the frame backpack I carry (I live an hour from hunting land. Go ahead, be jealous.) I also practice off-hand, contrary to the advice of Jeff Cooper and also, improvise support, such as resting on a tree, very much with the advice of Jeff Cooper ("The Art of the Rifle.") There is a chance that I will see a target before I have time to settle down all calm and pretty. Just enough time to shoulder, get sight picture, and squeeze. The rifle is 1/2 MOA. But my wavering with off-hand may widen to 1 MOA. At less than 100 yards, I still get a dead deer.
So, my rifle, loaded with 5 rounds of Federal Nontypical Whitetail .308 Win 150 grain, is 9 pounds 4.4 ounces, easy for me. Weight is not a deal breaker for me but I seek to shed a few ounces when possible or, at least, spend my weight and dollar budget (SAWR) in a way that works for me for accuracy and comfort.
Muzzle brake, that kind that will accept a suppressor, later. Hydraulic recoil pad. That is my one weight concession to comfort. I have heavy high power scopes. Vortex Venom with zero stop, 35 ounces. Diamondback Tactical 6-24 / 50 mm FFP, 24 ish ounces. Crossire II 3-9 / 40 mm Dead Hold BDC (second focal plane), 14 ounces. So, after much consideration and the majority of my hunting in the woods is at 50 yards and less, I have put on the Crossfire II.
Some say to zero at PBR, which, with my ammo, would be 1.8 inches high at 100 yards. I will still zero at 100 yards so that I can use the reticle for holds. And also, where I hunt, take off the dust cover, dial up two clicks, put the cover back on, I can aim dead on out to 50 yards. Good field of view, back off the mag just a little to get more of the deer in the view.
You could do that with this 783. If, like Lt Col Nutnfancy, you like the Nikon Prostaff, I think they are not made anymore but I found a 3-9 / 40 on ebay for 130. I happen to like Vortex and you can get a new Crossfire II on Amazon for 117 + tax. Even though I am a Vortex fan boy, you don't have to buy one. If the Nikon that is more expensive by a few dollars, even used, is what you like, get that. I have done so. Others have disagreed with my choices but I buy what I want for the value it brings me.
sounds like it was discontinued because it was too expensive to produce for the price it was sold.
Mossberg did the same thing with the Maverick 88 and the Mossberg 500. Now they sell twice as many Mav 88s as 500s, but they seem to be OK with that.
Updating my own dang self. I changed back to the Diamondback Tactical 6x-24x / 50 mm FFP. I am just so comfortable with the EBR-2C reticle. And I get better mag. Granted, at 100 yards, I can zoom no more than 10 and still be clear, but that is a smidge more than the 9. And I have parallax adjustment.
True, the Crossfire II has a thick crosshair that is always there. So, it is a matter of preference. Well, I re-weighed everything with the Diamondback on there and got the rifle solely on the scale at 9 pounds 7 ounces, which works for me.
My 783 is the regular black synthetic stock .308 caliber. Paid $300 CDN for it. I have cheap $99CDN, Bushnell scope from Canadian Tire on it. Zeroed my scope at 50 yards and it was bullet holes touching every shot. Moved out to 100 yards and fired twenty rounds and blew out the 2 inch bullseye completely. I was sniper trained in the British Army and carried a Parker Hale in 7.62 NATO with a top quality scope. I would match my 783 against that gun all day long. Great rifle!
Love my 783, Lucky 13 make 10 round magazines in Australia, not sure about availability for our mates in the USA, keep on fighting lads, it’s a nightmare over here.
Love the 783.... Bought my boy one in 243 and at 10 yo he was nailing a 6" plate at 500 yards. At the time it was under $250 and I couldn't be more happy.
Same story here man, think I paid $289 for mine. Absolute tack driver in .308
Same here and I have not fired mine yet... wondering about the barrel life in 243.... I here they don't last as long because of 60k psi pressure and velocity. Wondering if I should have gotten the 308 in this??
I bought the 243 w/20" bbl in 2016. I got it threaded for my suppressor and installed a bipod. I use the stock scope. It does less than 1" groups with 100gr Hornady SPBT bullets at 2875fps. Great rifle and very handy for game up to antelope inside of 300yds.
I bought mine for $1.75. Top that.
i love the 'always wear safety glasses' the moment the guy shooting isn't.
YA!!! Finally the 783 is getting the respect it deserves. Mine is 300WM and it is just a great shooter
Nutn-- I just left my LE career to join Remington which is relocating their global HQ near me. I have a LOT of inside baseball on the new 783 and other goodies fast on the way. It’s an all new Remington (RemArms, actually) and that’s a good thing.
I can personally vouch; there’s QUALITY in every box.
Im a Remington man through and through, i have spoke to RemArms a few times in the past couple of weeks, and they have confirmed with me, that the Legendary 7600 will be coming back in the first quarter of 2023, which is the best news, and that RemArms is employee owned, the 760's and 7600's mean everything to me, i have a 1963 Remington 760 Game Master, ive used sense i was 12, and shot 95% of my Bucks with, i have a 1991 7600 30-06, and i also bought a 7600 from the last batch of 35 Whelen they made in 2019, Remington pumps are the best, and i will be buying my 12 year old son one from the first batch they release in 2023 as well, and im so glad America's oldest Gun Manufacturer is getting their feet under them again!

When I was in law school I attended an upper level class with all the law school elite students on law review and moot court. They were like, "ya, we are going to ban ALL guns." I was thinking you people don't know my people. Seriously, the mindset of most lawyers is that the 2nd amendment is an anachronism and needs to be bent into being a legal fiction. I always mention that this is not a good idea because a defense authorization act in the 80s gave the President the control of the national guard so now only gun owning Americans are the state militias since the National Guard are now under Federal control. I am one of the few pro-second amendment lawyers out there and keep a low profile so my law license number does not get pulled by the bar association. People, they really are out to get your guns. It is not hyperbole. You have been warned.
I don't understand people who don't believe it when others say they want to harm them.
Where did you go to law school? I take it you don't live in the South.
@@9thchild358 right, several of the Attorneys I've interacted with here in NC carry daily. 👍
Both "President" Biden and now Texas governor Candidate O'Roarke have both said, on national TV in main media outlets in public that they are intent on taking away your guns. Period, paragraph, end of book, forever, amen. There is no doubt, no rhetoric. As in your words, no hyperbole. Plain and simple, going to take your guns, hell or high water. Soi-disant President Biden has said, and I quote, "the amendment is not a permanent thing."
So, my question as a non-attorney is, does that mean he will repeal the 13th? He and Obama and Bush Jr violated the 4th as if it did not exist.
I went to law school in the Midwest and live there, i.e. a purple battleground state. In the rural areas, lawyers carry all the time. In the urban areas of the state, guns are hated.
As of 11/19/23 Remington is STILL producing the 783 & their IS more than a few companies making 10 round mags for the 783
Who makes 10 rds mags for the 783 and where can I get a stock for it?
@@spartanlukas You can get a stock from Boyd’s.
proof that nutn will give credit where it is due. everyone in the gunstore i work at talks down on remington but i havent seen any of their rifles throw down those groups
Looks like a good setup. Time will tell. Nice to see a rifle review again.
I have this same 16.5" Heavy Barrel Synthetic in 308 and it is my only plastic rifle, yet my favorite gun. Remarms is making them again but these Remington built Marlin rifles will be a good investment.
MDT does make a 10 shot Mag called MambaMag. It is a direct fit, no bottom plate replacement.
Bought one of these locally at a wally world for 180ish on clearance. I always thought it was a solid rifle other than the stock. The molded in front sling stud broke off from very light bipod use.
Right at moa with off the shelf hunting .30-06
Trigger was impressive for the price.
Another good review👍
Bought the 783 in 2014 in 30-06 a bit heavy, but took it to the range the accuracy was excellent. The limiting factor was certainly the shooter. Hope I get a buck or two with it next year.
I'm looking at this one for my next gun as I'm wanting to get into hunting... I figured 30-06 should be good round but didn't want spend a lot on first time hunting rifle would you still recommend this... Unfortunately I'm in Commie Cali this rifle is about $600 in 2023
I have had similar experiences with the 783 as well. My dad picked it up for a little over 300 bucks five or so years ago, and he runs it out of the box with the 3-9 scope that came with it.
We zeroed it once, and he uses it for hunting due to it being so light to carry around in his old age.
I got one in .308 as a beater hunting rifle and first groups out of it were well sub MOA. I was very happy with my purchase!
I was jumping around looking at different .308s... I actually stumbled upon this model and I researched this rifle for days... Your video was one of the last I watched and found it to be a no bullshit assessment!! I chose this with no reservations and to add my family grew up with and used only Remington shotguns and rifles... When I was a police officer we used the 870 shotguns!! Remington is coming back and standing on their own merits!! Appreciate you brother!! shoot straight!!
I have the HB tactical version, 16 inch hb 308 threaded. I put it in a Boyds pro varmint, with a Pacific Tool and Gauge bottom metal and AI mags. Absolutely love this gun.
Got one of these back in Feb. It's my 1st rifle. Got it in 6.5 creedmoor. In the uk it was £800 with a bipod,scope and moderator. It is a accurate rifle for a good price. ( guns and ammo are way more expensive here). Overall I'm very happy with it, no issues whatsoever .
Awesome review as always! They make this model (HBT) in 16.5 and 24 inch barrels. I believe yours you’re testing is the 16.5. Awesome little rifle! Thanks for the awesome content over the years!
Just got one. Thank you for all you do🙂
Dig the show nutn...I also dig the watch..........gota take a closer look at the Remington 783...KEEP ON ROCKING IT!........nutnfancy...........
I purchased one in 308 from Cabela's several years ago on sale At 250$. Regardless of price one the best guns I ever purchased. Have taken deer elk and a ram with it.
Been a big 700 BDL fan for years but never thought about economy rifle being this accurate but now I think I want a 783 after your review .
I own one in 300 Win Mag. Bought a few extra mags too. mounted a Bushnell Elite 4500 on it. Thanks for the review!!
Recently purchased off the used rack at my local store. Dime size group at 150 yards with .308 Federal Gold Match 185 gr. Was amazed at accuracy! Not letting this one go anytime soon!
I have two of these. One in .270 Win and one in 30-06. I only handload, and each one is two MOA, or better, depending on the recipe. I put Boyd stocks on each of them, also with Nikon scopes on each. I absolutely love these rifles.
Love the GRV's nutn! Hoping for a redskies part 2 someday!
I’m a fan of this design when it comes to accuracy. It’s essentially a Savage design. As long as the barrel is quality then that design is a proven super accurate design. The floating bolt head is a great feature for the money. In my opinion you don’t have to pay big money to get a super accurate bolt gun. The money starts stacking up when you want certain features on a bolt gun. I’ve owned several Savage rifles over the years and all have been super accurate. The bolt isn’t super smooth and has some slop, but dang do they shoot good. They honestly have been more consistent shooters overall then other rifles I paid a lot more for. Glad to see this Remington is solid too.
It's a savage design that was plagiarised into the marlin XL-7. When Remington took over marlin , they then took the design and made the it Remington 783. From memory the 783 and xl-7 bolt is interchangeable. I know a few guys who said the marlin XL-7 was a great gun once you bedded it down.
I have mine in 308, had a hard time finding ammo during the initial pandemic, but that isn’t so bad now. Just the price of ammo is still high. Because of the pandemic, I haven’t shot anything for a couple of years now, but at least I have ammo now.
I bought two Remington 783 back to back! I was impressed with it in .243 so I bought it in .270 as well.
Great review!
Own it!
Love it!
I have one of these in 6.5 cm, took my first buck with it back in the day. So glad I bought it! MDT makes chassis systems for the 783 I turned mine into a target rifle and its uses aics magazines now.
I dropped my 783 in to an MDT XRS chassis. Super capable at the range but not too precious to hunt with. Absolutely love it.
I agree with you!!
Love my Rem 783 chambered fir 22-250! One inch groups at 200 yrds easy with zero bullet drop and Using optic Nikon Active Target special 4-12x40 bdc! It’s a predator killing beast using Hornady vmax!
This is the first review that's is positive on the 783 model.. Thanks mate ..😁🇦🇺🤙
Cool suppressor wrap, nice gun, good stuff thank u nutn
I have one of these in 223, in the standard black configuration. My only 2 minor complaints, the trigger was gritty on mine (some are better than others) and the stock was a little slick. Timney makes an outstanding trigger for these, and a little Talon tape fixed both. This rifle outshoots me !
Been watching since late 2008. Almost 14 years ago! Holy crap that makes me feel old!
Ditto. I can’t believe it either.
Finally, it's a great value option, glad I picked up a few when I did. 👌🏻
Mine is a tack driver in .308
I bought a Rem 770 in 7mm08 for $269....8 years ago. It is a TACK DRIVER. Sure the bolt action is a bit clunky and the stock was cheap....but the cheap scope that came with it was just fine for the woods and against whitetails. I put it in a boyd's stock last year to dress it up and also a new scope.....its still a tack driver. And the sticky clunky bolt has finally smoothed itself out.
I bought a used one in 270 at a pawn shop for $270. I spent $550 on a new .270Win barrel with a 1-8 twist so I can take advantage of the new 6.8 high BC bullets. The thing shoots 1/2-3/4in at 200yards with a couple handloads.
I have the varmint laminate variant with a 26" heavy barrel. And yes I'm getting half Inch MOA In 243. I have a Weaver 3 x 9 x 40 scope .
I might have missed it but what caliber are you shooting on this video?
First time viewer and immediately subscribed, thanks for the info.
Been looking for a GOOD 1st bolt action rifle and I think I found it. It’ll be for long distance newbie target shooting.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Southern California
I got one of the last 783’s produced in Huntsville Alabama. Was brand new, Just sitting in the corner of a shop in Huntsville. The muzzle brake had me hooked and I took it home.
I bought a 783 450 bushmaster around Christmas this year I absolutely love it it will drop them in the same hole just about every time
I purchased my very first Bolt action Remington 783 .308, an all I have to say is on my very first trip to the range, I will never forget hearing the range master after 25yards and then moving out to 50 yards yell out to me, BULL'S EYE!!!!!! on my very first 100yard shot, an this is all that Matters.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
My wife whitetail deer hunts in Wv with a 783 rem youth .308 win 20” barrel. I’ve been hand loading for 50 years and loaded up some 125 flat point hollow point (Sierra 30-30 bullet ) with H 4895 at about 2500fps !! My loads wouldn’t bolt up ! Inserted round and bolt wouldn’t close ! Called REM and sent 783 back and the camber was not bored deep enough! She hunted with her Marlin 7y 243 . Got 783 back and it shoots great very accurate! She killed her buck last year with the 783 nice little rifle!!
This is why I'm glad I bought this rifle when everyone else was telling me to pay more money for other budget brands...
Never knew about this rifle, sweet little bolt gun man.
My Winchester XPR 270 makes me feel the same way. For the price, the XPR performs at a much higher level. Very happy with this rifle and it had taken many deer. I do wish it was a can ready model though.
I've had a 710 in 30.06 since it came out. Does everything I need
This thing is awesome. As much as I want it I'm busy getting situated with supplies for me and my mom. But my buddy has one in .223 for varmints at his parents property. Thing is dead nuts accurate.
I bought one of these last year and I have had a few issues with it. The crappy sling hoops broke cause the plastic stock is kinda poop. The firing pin hits a little light and some steel cased ammo takes two strikes to go off. Other than that it's accurate and for the price I definitely don't regret it. I am planning on getting a hardwood stock for it at some point though just to pretty it up a bit.
Thanks for the review… still only going to watch on YT (which needs more gun content.) Don’t abandon the fight.
I own one and love it. I have had it for 3or4 years. I have 5 different barrels for it. They are easy to change out. When you look at the design , it is quality. Backfire tv says it is junk and dont buy it but I think they are full of sh-t. I have a timney trigger on it and a leupold back country scope mount on it but I upgrade all of my rifles. I have 6 700s but hunt with the 783. It just fits me.
I have a feeling that Remington didn't pay Backfire TV to say something good, so they got the dirty end of the stick. Unfortunately, most people don't realize that this is the way many RUclips channels work. Money does the talking.
I have a Rem 783 300 win mag. I modified it with a boyds stock and put in a bottle metal from pacific tool and gauge, to take after market mags.
Yup. I got a 1moa group at 500 meters with my 308 which is probably as good as I can personally shoot with the stock rifle. These rifles are amazing.
Wow Nikon and the remington 783 both discontinued 😞. And someone correct me if I’m wrong but I heard Crimson Trace bought the Nikon devision of rifle scopes division and they have what appears to be a good warranty. Would love to see a review of their scopes and deep dive into it.
But yes my 783 I’m going to be putting into MDT chassis system in the next two months with the side folding stock. I want to make it as compact for hunting trips as pissible.
I have the same rifle. Bought it last December with my Trump $600 stimulus check. Added a vortex diamond back scope. Chambered in 6.5 creed. I got the gun, and scope for $499 as a combo. Can't wait to slay some deer this fall.
I’ve got one(308) and love it. I changed the stock to Boyds.
I have one and I struggled with because I had the original scope and rings and then I updated it to a better bushnell and still shot horrible. I didnt give up on it and I bought a leupold and and warne rings and I shocked how well it shot. I was blaming the gun in the beginning but as long as you buy a good scope and good rings and throw the other stuff away you will have a good rifle.
Same here. I took off the default scope and had a nikon put on, I think they over torqued the screws, still had some issues. When I went to a leupold, mounted it myself, this rifle is the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. Wanted to buy my wife one but they are hard to find now.
I have one and love it
They go on sale almost every year for $240 to $270 with a scope new every christmas. Things are so solid they rarely are seen sold though, now i know why
I got a Remington 700 sps varmint .308 with short heavy barrel and Primary Arms 4-14 ACSS HUD-DMR scope for my birthday like 5 years ago and haven't even shot it yet 😂 lmao, cant wait to shoot it soon.. was thinking of getting the magpul stock/bipod for it
I've used a Remington 760 Game Master .308 sense i was 13, so now 20 years now, and also have 7600's but they are the very best deer rifles available!

STAY FREE
LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC
Awesome! But if you DO want to go down the rabbit hole, Timney makes triggers for it, there are match grade aftermarket barrels available and there are stock and chassis options that allow you to use aics mags - Oryx and MDT LSS for a couple.
I think he was raving about it because it’s fine the way it is! And it’s cheap
Got one in .300 win mag love it shoots great and smooth bolt just an awesome rifle in every way
I bought one of these used three or four years ago from my local gun store. Wasn't even looking for any particular gun but for whatever reason it caught my eye and I didn't have a modern bolt action.
Honestly didn't realize I had such a affordable gem of a rifle. I'll have to take it out again soon and see how the accuracy of mine fares. Its usually not my go to plinking rifle. Just talking .30 cal I'm more likely to grab my Ar10 or my Garand.
My 783 is in 30-06 and has a mystery scope it came with used on it. Very well could be a factory mounted scope. Haven't searched for markings on it.
Probably is factory junk, put a decent scope on it and have fun
Hey Nutnfancy! Love the channel and your reviews. Just a small point from the video in this 783. In the field you are slapping the bolt handle an extra 2-5 times on each reload. The video of Sean shows correct bolt technique...Up&Back then forward& down. 2 smooth motions and zero slapping at the bolt handle. Sean is smooth as butter. I know it’s a $300 rifle, but be kind to it.
It’s a tool beat the hell out of it.
That's nuts... and fancy!
Found one on the used market in .223. Never shot it with the factory stock. Dropped it in an Oryx Chassis and it’ll hammer nails. I just wish I could shoot better. An amazing value for your dollar. Need to beef up the scope on mine but for now it’ll do.
Thanks
Thank you mr fancy
Does anyone know if the 783 is built on the Rem 700 specs? As in, I want to get one and drop it in an MDT chassis that is spec'd for a Rem 700 barreled action but I cannot find any info anywhere if its built on the Rem 700 specs. Not sure if it will fit
I take it you were able to cycle the bolt with your chairforce limpwristic bolt manipulation style that gave you fits with the Ruger Hawkeye?
I have a 783 chambered in .270 Winchester.....what a sleeper. It shoots straight. No question about it.
Just seeing this today 8/1/22 I took my 783 to the range this morning. I had a Sig Buck master scope 3x9x40 .first 2 shots same hole . After making adjustments it was a 1 inch group. I need to go back to the 100 yard line and group it.
had mine since 18/19 ish in 6.5 creed hbt, sanded out around the barrel to free float it and it drives tacks. The Hbt. in particular got overlooked due to Rems poor reputation. My most fun and enjoyable rifle to shoot.
Paul Harrell Just shot up his Remington 783, in 223 Rem. JS.
It reminds me of the Ruger American ranch.... I have one in 5.56 that uses ar magazine and it's a really awesome rifle especially with this primary arms reticle it's 500m easy hit gun and I mean real easy with 55gr fmj
I’ve got a gen 1 ranch in 300blk and a gen 2 in .556 that takes ar mags both are great rifles and shoot sub moa with my hand loads.
Imho the Ruger American is the best of the lower cost bolt actions out there.
Have this exact same rifle in 308 not bad for the money the only problem i have is with rem out of business can we get parts if needed
KC135 doing touch and goes at lambert! "Saint Louis" made me think of you Sir!
I have a 770 in 308. It’s not worth anything to anyone but me, so I keep it. It feels cheap and the bolt is hard to operate sometimes. But it shoots AMAZING! A true beater gun worth more than what I paid.
Most accurate turd ive ever watched a review on 😅
Daddy like! Especially that price tag!
Was considering being a sub on Patreon, been a follower since 2008 or 2009 (I may even still have The Nutnfancy Soundtrack in my truck).... on Patreon are you still doing camping vids, are there vids of Nuggetbuster or sadly missing (excuse any misspelling)?
I hope you do some more flying related stories
My 1990’s Remington 700PSS does sub MOA consistently. It’s the 26” barrel . I’ve pitted it against my Sako 85 with set trigger and it goes toe to toe against it all day. The groups would match my Sako or sometimes better than. But of course the Sako has a better trigger.
Great rifle! I had one until the divorce, she sold it.
Remington pumps will always be the best to me, especially up here in the NEK woods,
but Remington Ammunition is going strong rite now, and i really hope they succeed!
The new owner said Remington is Legendary in America! and they have no plan to change that, and that the Remington Ammo will be as innovative as ever... So i thin with the Russian Ammo Ban, i think its an opportunity for Remington to step up and make Cheap costing to us, 7.62x39 Ammo rite here in the Heart Land, for as an affordable price as the Russian Ammo some how.
This is impressive.
Thanks Todd
What da eff? Lol Todds comment was posted one week ago ? How could that be? Lol

for anybody that has this gun, where did you pick it up? I'd like to purchase it but haven't been able to find it anywhere.
About three years ago I had a choice between buying a Marlin X7 and the Remington 783 both in 30-06. I chose the X7 and I don't regret it. I bought it used in good condition for about $270 and it has been great at killing deer.
Same gun one was made when marlin was marlin, X7 became the 783 when Remington took over marlin. Marlin was probably a bit better on the quality control.
783 is better
Didn't know they were that accurate. About the only things I knew about the 770 was Walmart sold them and its possible to snap the bolt handle off in very cold weather(granted I've only heard of this happening once).
770 7mm mag did what I needed it to do. I haven't shot it in idk...10 years.
I picked up a howa model 1500 in 308 the other day and im only deer hunting up to 300 yrds
Bolt handles BREAKING OFF is the weak link, I've actually been at the range when 2 of them broke off.
Looks like a winner
Nutn: quick same price point similar gun, pick one GO! Remington 783 or Thompson Center 'Compass'??????
I had 2 Remington 770’s that i had got when i first got into rifles. One was a 7mm rem mag that i free floated and shot lights out. Sub moa at 300 all day long. Buddy bought it. Not bad for a 199 dollar rifle i put a better scope on and spent 25 min with a dremel. Action sucked so you werent going to rail the bolt, it was a 3 round mag anyway its not a gun for that. Same outcome with the 06 one. The barrels were really solid.
There is something so organic about making a really cheep, heavily hated gun shoot well.
I got mine for $250 used! Just like the one you were shooting but in .223 phenomenal rifle!
I paid $1.75 for mine. Top that.
Got one in 223 black , very accurate
This was my first bolt action rifle at 18 years old first firearm I ever got. That was about 6 years ago when u could buy a rifle in Ca at 18 before they changed the law
