Op. Knew what you were asking. Did not have specs. Suffice to say I don't believe the 708 will touch lands when seated and run thru the magazine.
That said - I don't recall any other rifle in that Chambering allowing it either.
You have to ask yourself, do I want a hunting rifle with solid accuracy, or am I shooting for groups.
1st round cold bore POI consistency is often 95% what will determine the outcome on a big game hunt if the shooter does their part. Muck that up and odds are your banging away at a running animal.
I Never put a group on an animal. One shot one kill
