That is because most people have no idea that Remington, Savage and Winchester all made good bolt action rifles other than the 700,70 and 110.
As fad as the 788 goes, since its inception the only thing it had as far as quality goes was a fast lock time .
Cheap ,uncomfortable stocks,and sharp edged stamped metal magazines that would cut you in a Heart beat were just two of the negatives of that economy rifle .
Every rifle brand has its negatives .
