Back in 2013, RemArms introduced the new Model 783, a bolt-action rifle that was eventually driven to the bottom of the price list for Remington after the discontinuation of the Remington 770. In addition to the perception of the Model 783 being a “cheap” rifle and with everyone focusing their money elsewhere in the market (specifically a clamor for AR-15 rifles), the Model 783 really just didn’t sell well – something that Remington is attempting to change today with the reintroduction of the Model 738.

Remington Reintroduces the Model 783 in 7 Different Calibers

As RemArms elevates the Remington firearms brand as a whole, there is no place for a “cheap rifle”. The 783 is fully featured, accurate, durable, and built in the USA. It deserves more respect than it has historically been given and that stated, it is priced where it should be. The quality of Remington firearms is back up to levels that ensure you can sell our guns with confidence and the 783 is no exception. Consumers are seeing it, and reviews of RemArms produced firearms are positive on all fronts.

With the reintroduction of the Model 783, we’ll be seeing a ton of new standard SKUs across 3 different core rifle styles (all pictured here). However, the Model 783 will have some standard features that we’ll list below. The new versions of the Model 783 have MSRPs of $540-$610.
