Description
Let me paint you a picture. It’s opening morning in the Missouri hardwoods, and you need a rifle that’s ready to go—no fuss, no last-minute adjustments, just a solid, accurate tool you can trust. That’s the exact scenario the Remington Model 783 308 Win, 22″ Barrel, 1:10 Twist, Mossy Oak Breakup Camo Finish, Synthetic Stock with SuperCell Recoil Pad, 3-9x40MM Scope, Detach Mag, CrossFire Adjustable Trigger, 4rd is built for. I’ve put a few boxes of Federal Power-Shok through this package, and it’s a straightforward, hard-working hunting rifle that gets the job done.
The Remington Model 783 is a bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in the classic .308 Winchester. It features a 22-inch barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, a Mossy Oak Breakup camo synthetic stock with a cushioned SuperCell recoil pad, and comes ready to hunt with a mounted 3-9x40mm scope. The package includes a detachable 4-round magazine and the adjustable CrossFire trigger system. At $412.84, it represents a complete, out-of-the-box hunting solution.
Here’s the thing—the value in this package is undeniable. You’re getting a rifle, a decent starter scope, and a camo finish all for a price that’s hard to beat. The 22-inch barrel is a sweet spot for the .308, giving you good velocity without being unwieldy in a blind or thick timber. That 1:10 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights, from lighter 150-grain whitetail loads up to heavier 180-grain options for bigger game. The Mossy Oak Breakup finish isn’t just for show; it’s practical, hiding scuffs and blending well in our varied Missouri landscapes from the Ozarks to farmland edges.
The synthetic stock is tough as nails and weather-resistant, which matters when you’re dealing with our unpredictable fall weather. The SuperCell recoil pad genuinely works—it takes the sharp edge off the .308’s push, making range sessions more pleasant and helping you stay on target for a follow-up shot. The included 3-9x40mm scope is a basic but functional piece of glass. It gets you on paper and covers most ethical hunting distances. Is it a Nightforce? No. But it’s mounted and bore-sighted, which means you can head to the range, make your final zero adjustments, and you’re essentially hunt-ready. No gunsmithing required to get started.
I’m a fan of the detachable magazine system. It makes unloading safe and easy, and loading is faster than fumbling with a fixed internal box. The CrossFire trigger is a standout feature for a rifle in this price class. It’s user-adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds. I found the factory setting to be just fine for hunting, but having the option to fine-tune it is a nice touch. The whole package weighs in around 7.5 pounds unscoped, so it’s easy to carry all day.

Pros: Exceptional out-of-the-box value. The adjustable trigger is a real benefit. The camo finish and recoil pad add practical utility. The detachable magazine is convenient. It’s a simple, reliable platform that just works.
Cons: The included scope is entry-level—you’ll likely want to upgrade if you shoot a lot or push distances. The stock is a basic synthetic; it lacks the ergonomic shaping of higher-end models. The action is functional but not the smoothest on the market.
So who is this rifle for? It’s perfect for the new hunter looking for a first serious deer rifle, or the seasoned hunter who wants a dependable, no-frills backup or truck gun. It’s for the shooter who wants a complete package without piecing together components. If your goal is to have an affordable, camo-clad, .308-ready rifle for Missouri whitetail, hog, or even black bear without breaking the bank, this Model 783 package hits the mark. It’s also compatible with aftermarket scope mounts and rings designed for the Remington 700 platform, giving you easy upgrade paths.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and bore-sighted?
A: Yes, the 3-9x40mm scope is mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. You will need to finalize your zero at the range with your chosen ammunition, but it should be on paper right out of the box.
Q: Can the trigger pull weight be adjusted at home?
A: It can, using a simple hex key. The adjustment range is from 2.5 to 5 pounds. Always ensure the rifle is unloaded and follow the manual’s instructions, or have a qualified gunsmith perform the adjustment if you’re unsure.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality factory ammunition, you can expect consistent 1 to 1.5 MOA groups, which is more than sufficient for ethical hunting at common distances. The .308’s 4-round capacity gives you plenty for the field.
