a fellow gun head picked up a Remington 783 in 22-250 package gun NIB from somewhere recently. He sighted it in and was impressed with how accurate it is. He replaced the scope with a Leupold 3-9 rifleman and sent me a text photo with 3 shots touching at 100 yards. I have seen a few 783s over the years but never paid attention to them. Is this the norm for these guns or did my friend luck into a super accurate rifle?

Nope. Had 3 of them and they would all do that. 270 and a couple 243s.
