Key features
- Action: The rifle featured a strong and reliable controlled-round-feed Mauser 98 action, known for its ability to function flawlessly with powerful cartridges. It has a large claw extractor that ensures positive feeding and ejection.
- Origin: The barreled action was manufactured by Zastava Arms in Serbia and imported to the United States, where it was fitted with its stock and finished by Remington.
- Caliber: The .458 Winchester Magnum cartridge was designed to take down dangerous game with performance similar to traditional English double rifles. This makes the 798 a formidable rifle for hunting large, heavy-skinned animals.
- Stock: Early versions of the rifle often came with a brown, checkered laminated stock, but other variants with walnut and synthetic stocks were also produced.
- Discontinued and scarcity: The Remington 798 was only produced for a few years, making the .458 Win Mag chambering somewhat scarce on the used market.
