isn't the rem 783 the Chinese made rem
I'm not sure but if it is quite a while ago I tweaked one for a bloke who I told to get rid of it as it was an unknown for how long it would be any good
rough as guts if it is the same as what I tweaked, came in a package, about $600 with a crap scope
I don't want to bag other peoples choices but understand there are remingtons and there are remingtons
if I were him I would look at an earlier howa with the fully adjustable trigger, three adjustment screws
it would be second hand but better finished
IMHO
