It was a Remington 788 in .308 Win. I still own and hunt with that rifle and have harvested a truck load of deer with it. Before the Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets became available I used 165 grain RN, 170 grain flat nose 30-30 bullets, and 150 grain Winchester Power Points. All were quite deadly on our PA white-tails. Now my bullet of choice is the Nosler 150 grain Ballistic Tip driven to just over 2800 fps using IMR3031. One hole groups at 100 yards are the norm using the Rem 788 and my Win Model 70 with it’s 20 inch barrel and pre 64 action. It is a dream to carry and accurate to boot. I’m 70 years old now and don’t climb our PA hills like I used to but the .308 Win is a common companion of mine none the less.
