Seriously, I would like to meet the knucklehead Remington 783 designers / engineer that designed the the 783 to not accept a standard 700 scope base.
WTH were they thinking ?
Budget rifle or not...keep it consistent.
My Dad has a 783 in .223 that he got as a package. The scope was not great so I got him a vortex and some weaver rings.
First off , none of the ring screws or base screws on the existing scope were more than snug. One of the base screws was actually already loose. I had planned on leaving the bases but they are apparently crap too.
The only available option I have seen so far are the one piece base/ring available from Remington. They have decent reviews so I ordered them. Not what I wanted to use but nothing else I could see.
I don't get it. Dumb marketing move IMO.
