Recently on GB I have learned that the bolt handle on a 788 is silver soldered to the bolt. How about the model 78? Does anybody have opinions about the 78 vs. 788?

  The 788 bolt was a little more prone to breakage than the 78's were.
  They are all silver soldered on unless they are a one piece bolt, and remington dont do that.
  The 788 has a better lock time than the 78, and less locking lug engagment.
  The 78 was only made for about 6 years, and had cheaper uncheckered wood than the 700.
  The 788 seems to be worth more than a 78 [:D]
  
  Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.
