have a 7mm-08 and love it but i would not take it to a big field that i may take a 300 yrd shot
Personally I don't see a problem with a 300 yard shot from a 7mm-08 Rem.
my 7mm-08 is a 15" encore, i probably should have mentioned that, its got a fixed 4X leupold, if you can kill a deer at 300 with it i'd tip my hat to you, the maximum effective range for me is limited to 150 on this pistol, on a rifle i don't think a 300 yard shot is out of the question. but if i'm hunting a big bean/corn field where a shot could be 300-500 i'll be taking my 7mmSTW.
like i've said before its better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it
