The Sportsman 78 was not included in the recall that affected the trigger group. From 1978 to 1982 Remington offered the Sportsman 78 which is the same model 700 action but with cheaper features such as a plain stock without checkering. The Model 700 is available in many different stock, barrel and caliber configurations, with many third-party and aftermarket variants in the market built on the same action footprint. The rifle can also be ordered with a detachable box magazine. Minor exterior handling marks consistent with time spent in the field.
