A recently acquired a Remington 788 in 222 Rem Mag. I actually do not have my hands on it yet. I was in another city on business and had no way to get it back on the plane. So I put it in layaway at the Pawn Shop and am headed back to pick it up. I did get some feedback from bluekouki86 that ammo is going to be very hard to find. But I absolutely lucked out and found an LGS buddy who had some NOS boxes of Remington from the mid nineties in a storage shed(he was back there digging out all of the ammo he could find).
I am pretty sure I know about the performance. Ive been told it is just hotter than a .223 and I need to learn how to re-load. I would imagine the coyotes will not be able to tell me the difference between the two.
I really want information on the gun. Does anyone have any idea when they were produced in that caliber by Remington. I cannot for the life of me find any evidence that Remington even made the 788 in .222 mag. But I am 99.9%cerrtain it is the original barrel.
Feedback is appreciated. Thanks
