I have a 7600 7mm-08. Use a barrel band type front sling swivel so you don't put too much strain on the forend like the swivel mounts that replace the forend screw. I've got a Warne one pice base and Burris signature rings on mine. If you are going to use lens covers like the Butler Creek flip ups a longer scope makes it easier to get to the front cover. 200 yards and less? Find a used Zeiss 4x and call it good! YMMV
