Has anyone shot the Remington 798 in 375 H&H? How is it on accuracy and recoil? What are the pro's and con's? Would I be better off going with a CZ? Planning a Buff hunt in the next couple of years and looking to buy a new gun. As I will probably not shoot this gun very much after the buff hunt I don't really want to spend a small fortune. Thanks, | ||

Unless you get a geat close out deal on the Remington go with one of the Rugers in 375 or better yet 416 Ruger. A CZ would also be a better choice. The 798's I've seen were on the rough side and the inletting was terrible. Remington seems to have come up with a new and unique concept "free floating actions". By this I mean there are rather large gaps all round the action. Wood to metal fit is really bad. Could be the reason these models have been discontinued by Remington. Tom Z NRA Life Member | |||

I own FIVE 798's and not one is even close to what you've described. Fit and finish is great quality for a production run rifle. T_Bone | |||

I will write a short report and costs involved when I get done with mine. The action needs to be smoothed up and the trigger needs to be adjusted and that's it. I sent one gun back to Remington because the barrel was touching the stock on the left hand side. (under warranty)The fit and finish is good. I was amazed how good the trigger was on my 375 after the trigger was adjusted!!! | |||

Wonder why Remington dropped the 798's and CDNN ended up with them priced at $500.00 to $600.00 in lg. Cals. www.cdnninvestments.com catalogue page 17 have to down load cat.

The ones I saw were early models when Remington first started importing them. I worked part time in a guns store (retirement fun job) and everyone in the shop was very disappointed with their quality. Maybe things got better with the later models, but I haven't considered one since. I'll still take a Ruger or a CZ over the Remington 798. Tom Z NRA Life Member | |||

The early ones were crap, for sure. Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||
