Description
You’re glassing a ridgeline at 400 yards, the wind is picking up, and you need a single, decisive shot. You need a rifle that’s ready to work, not a project. The Remington 783, 3-9x40mm Scope 300 WinMag Bolt 24, Synthetic Black Stock, 3 rd is that rifle. It’s a factory-ready, hard-hitting bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in the potent .300 Winchester Magnum, featuring a 24-inch barrel, a durable synthetic stock, and a mounted 3-9x40mm scope for immediate field use. This package delivers serious long-range capability for big game at a price point that leaves room for ammo. At $385.30, it’s a complete, no-fuss solution for hunters who prioritize performance over polish.
Look, when it comes to hunting elk in the Rockies or taking a long shot across a Missouri bean field, you need power you can trust and optics you can see. The 783’s foundation is its pillar-bedded, free-floated barrel system. This design minimizes stock contact, allowing the barrel to vibrate consistently for better shot-to-shot accuracy. The user-adjustable CrossFire trigger is a standout—you can tune the pull weight to your preference without a trip to the gunsmith. It’s a feature typically found on rifles costing hundreds more, and it makes a tangible difference in shot control. The included 3-9x40mm scope provides a versatile magnification range; crank it to 9x for precise shot placement at distance, or dial back to 3x for quick acquisition in thick timber. The synthetic stock shrugs off moisture and rough handling, weighing in at approximately 7.5 lbs. unscoped, which keeps the total package manageable for all-day carries.

Pros & Cons
The major advantage here is value. You get a capable magnum rifle, a functional scope, and an adjustable trigger in one box. It’s drop-in ready—just add ammo and sight it in. The .300 Win Mag cartridge is a proven performer on all North American big game. The synthetic stock is durable and low-maintenance. On the downside, the stock’s ergonomics are basic, and the recoil from a .300 Win Mag in a lighter rifle is substantial; proper shooting technique and a quality recoil pad are advised. The included scope gets the job done, but serious long-range shooters may eventually upgrade to optics from brands like Vortex or Leupold.
Who is this for?
This rifle is for the practical hunter who needs downrange energy for elk, moose, or bear and doesn’t want to piece together a system. It’s ideal for a first-time magnum rifle buyer or a seasoned hunter wanting a dedicated, rough-weather rifle. It’s also a solid choice for those in open country where shots exceed the comfortable range of standard cartridges. The package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, following all applicable FFL transfer requirements for firearm purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already zeroed?
A: No. The scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory, but you must fire the rifle and zero it yourself with your chosen ammunition to ensure accuracy.
Q: Can I use other .30 caliber ammunition in this rifle?
A: Absolutely not. This rifle is chambered specifically for .300 Winchester Magnum. You must only use ammunition marked as .300 Win Mag. Using other .30 cal rounds (like .308 Winchester) is extremely dangerous.
Q: Is the magazine detachable?
A: Yes, the Remington 783 uses a detachable box magazine. The included magazine has a 3-round capacity, which is compliant for hunting in many states. The rifle’s action is designed for reliable feeding from this magazine system.
If you’re ready for a powerful, out-of-the-box hunting rifle that focuses on core performance, the Remington 783 package is configured and waiting.
