If your Remington 788 has a picatinny scope base and a sporter profile barrel, I recommend using the high 1" diameter Leupold Rings at the link below to mount the Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x50mm Rifle Scope.

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on February 24, 2022

The Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x50mm Rifle Scope could potentially be used to shoot at very extended distances but there are a lot of other factors that come into play when shooting that far. Here are some guides that may help you in your selection of a scope and give some information on long range shooting.

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on February 11, 2022

The Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x50mm Rifle Scope is a Second Focal Plane scope meaning that the reticle will stay the same size as magnification increases. In a First Focal Plane scope as magnification increases so does the size of the reticle.
