I bought a 7 in 7-08 4 years ago for my GF. Needless to say it never made it to her. It became my most carried rifle. Short light and quick to shoulder. Excellent stalking or treestand gun. Would it be my first choice to sit on a 500 yard bean field with? No. But for stalking and treestands its my go to.

I liked it so much I picked up one in 308 last year but I still carry the 7-08 more and it will probably be the last rifle I part with.

I was glad to see they brought back the stainless model 7's this year.
