RE: 7mm-08 Model 7

I have the 7mm-08 in the mdl700 HB. I would never get rid of this gun. Best shot i have made with this gun was a yote at 585yds. Gotta love it.

I believe I already am

I tried to scratch my 7mm-08 itch this Summer with a Savage 16, but I'm having a b!tch of a time trying to get it to shoot.

Last week, however, I made possibly the biggest impulse purchase of my LIFE (or for this month, anyway), & sent off some $$ to a guy looking to unload a 700 Mountain Rifle in 7x57. Same difference? We shall see...

I owned a model 7FS and a model 7 stainless both in 7mm-08.Both would shoot sub MOA with handloads.I much prefer either over any A-bolt.

I have the 7mm-08 in the model seven and love it. It is a sweet shooting little rifle. Originaly got it for my sister for elk huntingbecausitslighter and easierto pack around on those death marches. I started shooting it last year and she is going to have trouble tryingto steal it back.

RE: 7mm-08 Model 7

I have a model 7 in 308 and it is my go to gun.VERY good shooter.The 7/08 is a fine round.while I'm a 30 cal kinda guy it's hard to ignore the sectional density and BC of 7mm bullets.
