Remington 783 Compact | .308 Win | 20in | R85853

The Remington 783 Compact is a bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in .308 Winchester with a 20‑inch free-floating button‑rifled barrel and a matte black synthetic stock. The stock uses dual pillar bedding for improved shot-to-shot consistency and the trigger is Remington’s adjustable CrossFire system. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and the rifle ships with a single steel detachable magazine.

For optics under $1,000 a good pairing is the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40, which provides a versatile magnification range and reliable construction suitable for field use and target work.

Typical applications for this rifle include medium- to large-game hunting and range/practical precision shooting where a compact, lightweight bolt action is desirable.
