The same with the Remington 788 which was a similar concept. i understand the 788 was discontinued, in part, because too many people were buying them instead of the 700s. 788s have gotten "spendy" too, if you can find one. A friend of mine has a 788 in .30-30 Winchester, one of the less common calibers. I had thought of getting a 527 in 7.62x39 having two milsurps and lots of ammo in that caliber, but never got serious enough to buy one
