I recently traded a Ruger 10/22 in return for a Remington 788 in .308. So I am officially a Remington bolt action newbie, my first Remington was an AirMaster 77 . 177 air rifle. Just handed it down to my stepson to be his first firearm.

After sighting it in I can easily hit the 12" steel plate at the far end of the range at 240yrds. For some that maybe peanuts but to me I am very happy.
