I have this same rifle. Just got it late last month thru Grice. I believe it was one of the last ones available. Very sharp, and an excellent addition to the gun locker. Have yet to shoot it, hopefully this weekend, and will take any tips or suggestions in relation to factory loads for the 7-08. I deer hunt West Central WI, in hardwoods and my longest shots in the last 8 years have been 85 yards or less. I don't reload so if anyone's got any suggestions, feel free to pass them along. I try to lean towards Hornady or Federal Premium in all my other guns.
Thanks in advance.
