On my 7mm-08 Encore with 15 inch barrel i used a Leupold 2.5x8 . My hunting load was the Speer 110 gr Moly TNT with Varget. It worked great as a big game bullet out of the 15 inch barrel . This doe i dropped at around 125 yards with one shot just went down shooting of shooting sticks.

A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
