My cousins hunts with one. I believe his is a 7mm-08. He's killed a truck load of deer with it the last few years. Not sure how it is off the bench but I know it'll shoot Minute of Deer out to 300 yards. And it looks like it's a pleasure to carry. Short, light, and a nice looking rifle. Hard to beat for a whitetail gun. This is what he has.
