I have 3 rifles in the great 7mm-08 cartridge and they always seem to be my go to guns for my yearly KY deer hunting trips .
Ruger #1 SS w/laminated stock topped with a Nikon 3x9x40
Remington 700 BDL topped with a Burris II 3x9x40
TC Encore SS 24 ported topped w/ Leupold VXII 3x9x40
I use Federal Fusion and Federal Bear Claws both in 140gr with very good results, one shot and dropped with-in sight.
