remington 788
I have a picture of my dad from 1973 holding an antelope and the rifle he shot it with. He wrote on the picture that the antelope was shot with a 6mm. The rifle he is holding looks exactly like a Remington 788 except it looks like it has a stainlees(or stainless color)bolt and trigger gaurd. The clip is black or is bluing like on a regular rifle as I know 778s to be and the barrel is also the bluing as on a regular rifle. The wood on the rifle has a blond colored finish.
Did Remington 788s ever come with a stainless or stainless colored bolt and trigger gaurd?

I just picked up a in the original box (still has the "Big 5 - $129.00" price tag on it) Remington 788 in 7-08 and although it has a 2 piece weaver base included I'd like to go with a two piece turn in type. Problem is the 788 has 2 scope holes up front, one in the rear, haven't found anything listed.
Any way to mount a two piece on this thing? I thought the XP 100 and the Rem 7 have the same set up and I see they have two piece bases, are they interchangeable with the 788?0 -
Negative on both counts. GW. 0 -
the 788 has rear locking lugs and the 700 has front lugs. 0
