Description
Picture this: you’re glassing a ridgeline at first light, the Missouri woods quiet around you. You need a rifle that’s already proven, that can reach out and deliver a .308 Winchester round with authority, without demanding a fortune from your wallet. That’s the exact scenario where the Remington 783 Used .308 Win, 22″ Barrel, 3-9×40 Scope, Black, 5rd shines. It’s a field-ready, no-fuss bolt-action hunting rifle that gets you in the game for less.
The Remington 783 Used .308 Win, 22″ Barrel, 3-9×40 Scope, Black, 5rd is a pre-owned, scope-mounted bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. It’s a complete, ready-to-hunt package featuring a 22-inch barrel, a mounted 3-9x40mm riflescope, a black synthetic stock, and a 5-round detachable box magazine. This setup is designed for hunters and shooters seeking reliable, long-range capability at an accessible price point of $281.99.
Let’s talk about what you’re really getting. This isn’t a project; it’s a tool. The heart of the system is the .308 Winchester cartridge—a legendary round known for its flat trajectory and decisive terminal performance on medium to large game. From whitetail in the Ozarks to elk out west, the .308 has the credentials. The 22-inch barrel provides an excellent balance between velocity and maneuverability in a blind or thick timber. You get a crisp, adjustable trigger right out of the box, no gunsmithing required to start achieving solid groups.
The included 3-9×40 scope is the workhorse of the optics world. The 3x setting is perfect for quick shots in dense cover, while cranking it up to 9x gives you the clarity to make ethical, longer-range shots across a bean field. It’s already mounted and bore-sighted, meaning you can head to the range, confirm zero, and be hunt-ready faster. The synthetic stock is tough, weather-resistant, and shrugs off the bumps and scrapes that come with real-world use. At just over 7.5 lbs scoped, it’s a manageable weight for all-day carries.
Here’s the thing—the value proposition is stark. For under three hundred dollars, you’re getting a complete, capable hunting system. The 783’s action is built on a cylindrical receiver, similar in concept to many modern precision rifles, providing a rigid platform for the barrel. The rifle uses a familiar, Remington 700-style footprint for scope bases, meaning finding rings or a one-piece mount from brands like Warne or Leupold is straightforward if you choose to upgrade later.

Pros: Exceptional out-of-the-box value with optics included. The .308 Win caliber is versatile and widely available. The synthetic stock is durable for harsh conditions. The adjustable trigger offers a clean pull. It’s a simple, effective platform for a new hunter or a seasoned shooter wanting a reliable backup rifle.
