Remington 783 Bolt Action Rifle .223 with Scope

Description

Picture this: you’re scanning a Missouri ridgeline for varmints, or maybe you’re at the bench zeroing in for a tight group. You need a rifle that’s dependable, accurate, and ready to work without fuss. That’s where the Remington 783, Bolt Action Rifle, 223 Remington, 22″ Barrel, Black, Black Synthetic, 3-9x40MM Scope comes in. It’s a purpose-built, no-nonsense bolt-action platform designed to deliver solid performance right out of the gate.

The Remington 783 is a centerfire bolt-action rifle chambered in .223 Remington, featuring a 22-inch barrel, a black synthetic stock, and a factory-mounted 3-9x40mm scope. This package provides an immediate, ready-to-hunt solution for shooters seeking reliable accuracy for varmint control, target practice, or introductory big-game hunting at an accessible price point of $385.30.

Let’s talk about what makes this rifle stand up to real-world use. The heart of the 783 is its dual-pillar bedding system and free-floated barrel. This isn’t just marketing talk—it means the barrel isn’t touching the stock, which minimizes pressure points that can throw off your shot. The result is consistent accuracy, shot after shot. The adjustable CrossFire trigger is a key feature, allowing you to set the pull weight between 2.5 and 5 pounds to match your preference. That’s a level of customization you don’t always find in this price bracket. The 60-degree bolt lift is fast and smooth, making follow-up shots quicker, a real advantage when a prairie dog pops up a second later.

Then there’s the scope. The included 3-9x40mm optic isn’t an afterthought. It’s a practical magnification range that gives you a wide field of view for close-range shots and the ability to zoom in for precise placement at distance. Mounting and bore-sighting are done at the factory, so you’re drop-in ready for a final zero at the range. The synthetic stock is tough, weather-resistant, and impervious to the elements—perfect for a long day in a damp Missouri treestand or a dusty field. Weighing in at approximately 7.5 pounds unscoped, it’s a manageable heft that aids stability without being a burden on a hike.

Here’s the thing—every tool has its trade-offs. The pros are clear: you get a complete, accurate rifle-and-scope package for under $400. The adjustable trigger and free-floated barrel are serious performance features. The synthetic stock is durable and low-maintenance. On the other hand, the action may feel a bit utilitarian compared to higher-end models, and the stock is basic. But that’s the point. This rifle prioritizes core function over frills, channeling its value into the components that matter most for hitting your target.

So who is this rifle for? It’s ideal for the new hunter looking for a dependable first centerfire, the landowner needing an effective tool for predator and varmint management, or the budget-conscious shooter who wants a dedicated platform for ringing steel at the range. The .223 Remington chambering is versatile—it’s capable for coyote and deer in Missouri (with the right ammunition), affordable to practice with, and has minimal recoil. It’s also a great candidate for customization; the 783’s action is a solid foundation for upgrades, and the stock is compatible with aftermarket options from brands like Boyd’s.
