RE: Date Rem. adopted the 7-08???

I am not exactly sure, but it was either 1978 or 1980 when Remington standardized the 7mm-08.

I was not aware that the Ruger didn't come in 7mm-08. Check out the Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight. I absolutely love mine.

RE: a name for your gun

I have named two the following:

Browning ABolt .375 H&H-"Thunder" because of the BOSS muzzle break

Rem 700 Classic .300 Weatherby-"Lightning" because of the muzzle velocity
