I bought this gun....IT IS THE REMINGTON 798!! It has a wood stock, fold down hooded iron sights. and fits regular scope bases. It shoots like a dream with 470 gr hardened lead solids! You won't be dissapointed!

Congratulations! According to the catalog, it is currently only available with the synthetic stock, and no iron sights, but I'd still take it. ;D Glad to hear that you are enjoying yours. (FWIW: I do have the Remington Model 5 (Zastavia Z5) in 22LR and it is a tack driver. I did some easy trigger mods and it is a sweet shooter.)
