Description
Picture this: you need a rifle that can reach out and touch a coyote at 300 yards, or consistently punch paper without breaking the bank. You’re not looking for a safe queen; you need a reliable tool that works. That’s where the Remington 783, Bolt Action Rifle, 22-250 Remington, 22″ Barrel, Black, Black Synthetic, 3-9x40MM Scope, 4 Round comes in. It’s a complete, ready-to-hunt package built for precision on a budget.
The Remington 783 is a bolt-action centerfire rifle chambered in the flat-shooting 22-250 Remington cartridge. It features a 22-inch barrel, a black synthetic stock, and comes as a complete package with a mounted 3-9x40mm scope and a 4-round detachable box magazine. Priced at $385.30, it’s a value-focused, out-of-the-box solution for varmint control and medium-range target shooting. This rifle ships to Missouri and compliant US states, offering serious capability without a serious price tag.
Let’s talk about what you’re really getting for your money. The heart of the 783’s value is its barrel and action. The barrel is free-floated, meaning it doesn’t touch the stock along its length. This might sound like a small detail, but it’s a big deal for accuracy—it minimizes how the stock’s pressure affects the barrel during a shot, leading to more consistent point of impact. The action uses a dual-lug bolt with a 60-degree throw for smooth, fast cycling. It’s a simple, robust system that’s proven reliable. The trigger is another highlight; it’s user-adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds. For a rifle in this price range, that’s a feature you often have to pay extra for, allowing you to fine-tune the pull to your preference right out of the box.
The included 3-9x40mm scope is the cherry on top that makes this a true ready-to-roll package. You won’t need to spend another $100+ on optics and rings before you can hit the range. It’s a basic but functional scope that’s perfectly matched to the 22-250’s potential, letting you take full advantage of the cartridge’s high velocity and flat trajectory for longer shots on prairie dogs or foxes. The synthetic stock is all about practicality—it’s lightweight, durable, and impervious to weather, which is exactly what you want for a rifle that might see use in dusty fields or damp mornings. Here’s the thing—while the stock is functional, it’s a trade-off. You’re getting durability and low weight, not the refined feel of a premium laminate or fiberglass stock. That’s the essence of the 783’s bang-for-buck proposition.

Pros: Exceptional value for a complete scoped rifle. The adjustable trigger and free-floated barrel are features typically found on more expensive guns. The 22-250 is a superb varmint and predator cartridge. The package is drop-in ready—no gunsmithing required to get started. It’s a low-maintenance, weather-resistant tool.
Cons: The synthetic stock feels utilitarian, not premium. The included scope is functional but not high-end; serious long-range shooters may eventually upgrade. The 4-round capacity is standard but not high.
So who is this rifle for? It’s ideal for the Missouri landowner dealing with coyote pressure, the new hunter looking for an affordable and effective first centerfire rifle, or the recreational shooter who wants to stretch out on the range without a huge investment. It’s not a custom benchrest rig, but it delivers performance that far exceeds its sub-$400 price point. Compared to buying a bare rifle and adding a comparable scope and mounts separately, this package saves you significant money and hassle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and sighted in?
A: The 3-9x40mm scope is mounted and included with the rifle. It will require zeroing (sighting in) with your chosen ammunition once you receive it, as point of impact can vary between different brands and bullet weights of 22-250 ammo.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect from the Remington 783?
A: With its free-floated barrel and adjustable trigger, the 783 is capable of very good accuracy, especially for its price class. Many users report 1 to 1.5 MOA (Minute of Angle) groups with quality factory ammunition, which is more than sufficient for varmint hunting and most target shooting.
Q: Are extra magazines available for the Remington 783?
A: Yes, additional 4-round detachable box magazines for the 783 in 22-250 are available from Remington and aftermarket suppliers. This makes reloading quick and easy in the field. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases when shipping.
