The Remington 783 .308 Win bolt-action rifle pairs proven accuracy fundamentals with a compact, handy 16.5" barrel and modern FDE finish—a practical choice for hunters and shooters who value balance between performance and portability. This .308 combines Remington's dual pillar bedded synthetic stock with a crisp CrossFire trigger and detachable steel box magazine, delivering reliable, repeatable performance whether you're hunting medium game or working target loads at the range.

Built on a heavy carbon steel barrel, the 783 in .308 Winchester is engineered for accuracy without the weight penalty of a true bench-rest setup. The flat dark earth synthetic stock resists weather and handling wear, while the matte blue barrel finish and overall 36 1/8" length make this rifle equally at home in truck racks, blinds, or field conditions. At 8 pounds, it's light enough to carry all day but substantial enough to manage .308 recoil and group shots consistently.

The 10:1 twist rate is optimized for the .308 Win cartridge and will stabilize the wide range of factory and handload projectiles that caliber shooters rely on. With a 13 3/8" length of pull, 1 5/8" comb drop, and 1" heel drop, the stock geometry suits most shooters from average to longer-armed frames, and the design leaves room for optic mounting and accessories without compromise.
