Verdict
The Remington 783 is Remington's budget-tier hunting bolt-action, released 2013 as the entry-level sibling to the venerable Model 700 (Batch 6, parent entry). The 783 shares the 700's two-lug push-feed bolt geometry but with simpler finishing, the CrossFire adjustable trigger, and a $549–$799 CAD price point. The model anchors the bottom of Remington's hunting-rifle lineup the way the Howa 1500 anchors the Japanese OEM tier and the Mauser M18 anchors the European budget tier. Rubric reads it 1/15 — clean Low alongside every other budget-to-mid bolt-action hunting rifle on the Index. The Canadian hunting-rifle ladder by price tier is now well-represented on the Index across all five clean-Low entries: Remington 783 (entry-tier $549), Howa 1500 / Mauser M18 (budget $799), Tikka T3x / Bergara B14 / Browning X-Bolt ($1,500), CZ 600 Range ($1,799), Sako S20 (premium $2,499).
