Remington Model 798 Safari Grade

The Gun Nut reviews the Remington Model 798 Safari Grade

Lurking, almost unsung in the Remington 08 lineup, is an absolutely terrific rifle called the Model 798 Safari Grade. It is a true, long-action, all-steel Model 98 Mauser stocked in laminated wood that looks like high-grade walnut. The barrel is 22 inches long, which is the proper length for a dangerous game rifle, and the front sling swivel stud is out on the barrel where it won’t gouge your hand. The price is $1,119 for a .375 H&H, and $1,189 for a .458.

    Great! I am glad Remington finally came out with a Mauser type action and if it were in 458 Lott or 416 rigby I would have one now. My old Winchester Model 70 (.375 H&H) is still in good shape so I can wait for a new chambering. Have you heard of the .400 H&H that should be appearing next year? This might be an option for an all around rifle.

    Hi Val. Is the .400 H&H not out yet?

    I saw some ammo for sell at midway but the blazer barrel and such won’t be available until next year as I was told by a friend who went to the blazer factory. I don’t know about the H&H guns.
