magazines that hold more than 3 rounds of ammo for a long action 300 Win Mag model 783 ?

I am hoping someone makes one that holds maybe 5 or 6 rounds.

That's gonna be a tall order sir...

The standard calibers have a 4 round magazine available...the magnum calibers have a 3 round magazine. Don't see too many after market mags for the 783.

SHOOTER13 thanks, ........... I know, it's a bit of a reach. I was just curious mostly.

Actually so far there is very little accessories available for the 783's in standard calibers much less 300 Win Mag.

I think Remington has only been making the 783 in .300 WM for a short time so far, so I imagine it will be awhile till we see any from them. I was just hoping some aftermarket firm was producing something like what I was looking for.

Not that 3 in the box and 1 in the pipe doesn't get the job done.

You know, I am truly amazed by how accurate, dependable, smooth operating this firearm is for an investment of 260.00 total.

It's not a showcase gun like my Henry's are , but it's a tool meant for what it's designed for.

So far it has not had a single hiccup in function or accuracy. It's a bit of a beast caliber wise and a little over the top for just whitetail hunting. Now for hitting targets with authority out at 600 - 1000 yards, it is an excellent firearm. 150 grain rounds are blistering fast for a .30 caliber and the 180 / 195 / 200 grain rounds might be a bit slower but boy do they hit with bad intention.

SHOOTER....... mass production and newer technologies and less hands on processes must be how Remington can produce such a fine firearm as this for such a low retail price.

It's made in their mostly automated new factory in KY so that could be part of the reason. Nylon/plastic composite stocks , plastic trigger guard , low dollar imported scope I'm sure keep the cost of production down BUT to create it using these more inexpensive materials and still make an excellent , accurate, smooth performing weapon with upper tier spec's like a button rifle barrel that is full floating, very solid receiver with a smooth bolt action, easy adjustable barrel nut for head spacing, a mostly all steel magazine , adjustable trigger and a super cell butt pad.

I have to tip my hat to Remington on this one.

I compared it very closely with the Savage Axsis ll and the Browning model and the Mossberg models at the same basic price.
When it came right down to it I believed the 783 was built equal to or better in some instances than the others.

I'm just glad they can offer such a good product at such unbelievable price point for the budget minded market. They have a winner in this .300 Win Mag model. I can't testify to the other calibers but mine is flawless in every way that counts.

It says a lot about Remington as a company. Guess that's why they have been around for 200 years. :D

Glad to hear positive comments concerning the 783. Have not handled one myself to any extent do to not being in the market anymore for a centerfire. My older 700 is my go to for deer hunting these days. The so called "budget rifles" are a necessity these days I guess for companies to stay in business. Prices have climbed to high levels for the old standby's like our Model 700 BDL's. No big surprise we are seeing so many synthetics these days due to the high cost of black walnut we took for granted 35 years back. Thanks for the report.

mauser9 you are correct. I'm sure these "budget" rifles are to stay in the market with other competitors and to keep production humming.

I am impressed with the quality though at this price point.

Your older 700 BDL is a great and legendary firearm, no doubt.

I have my display case "Queens" in my Henry's. This one is for taking out and have some fun with.
That .300 Win Mag is a fun thumper to shoot though. :D
