What kind of rifle is that? Weatherby?
I am on my second 7-08, a Tikka T3 Lite that I haven't had the chance to play with much yet. The first was a cobbled Savage I gave to a good friend and hunting partner who LOVES it and has killed a bunch of game with the 120 NBT & Big Game.
I just bought a SS take-off barrel in 7-08 I am going to use on my Kimber Classic Select .257 Rob because I have a "build to end all builds" in that, my other favorite cartridge.
My top 4 are now: .257 Rob, .223 Rem, 7-08 Rem, and .30-06 in that order and 7-08 is my favorite for pure versatility.

They are all but giving away the Kimber adirondacks in 7mm-08 for $1199 I've seen a few Kimber Montana's on GunBroker sell for ~$750
A Gunbroker completed item search shows the lowest realized price for a Kimber Adirondack in any caliber was a single outlier on 11/4/16 for $1004.00. The next lowest realized price was $1249.00 on 12/28/16. Both were chambered in 7mm-08. Zero Kimber Adirondacks were sold in any caliber for ~$750.

uh, trying not to sound like a jackass, but you obviously spent more time trying to prove me wrong than to try to understand what I posted. euro-optic is selling adirondacks in 7mm-08 for 1199 new in box shipped to you... http://www.eurooptic.com/kimber-adirondack-7mm-08-rem-3000767.aspxAND thats why I said KIMBER MONTANA which sold for $750 this morning by the way. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/617052586So I guess... thank you for quoting my post and NOT reading it and proving me right in the process???

I love the 7-08. I'm gonna build one this year. I only have one currently. It has by far outkilled any other rifle in my safe. It is a M7 KS and it is a little lightweight laser...
Regards,
Nick- Georgia

You're right, I scoured the earth looking for $750 Kimber Adirondacks in 7mm-08 and didn't find any. It took a lot of love and a little delusion.

I am in the no love dept.. Mine shoots great, makes a great gun for shooting water jugs.. Built it for eastern whitetails, but seldom go there anymore.. I plan to give it to my namesake when he starts hunting..

My wife has a nice little Sako 85 Finnlight 7-08 and loves it. Great round I think. One we won't sell ever

Lots of love for the 7-08 here. I had three, was down to one now back up to two. They kill antelope and our little blacktails fine. ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e130/mycalypsogreen/P1000797-2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e130/mycalypsogreen/09deer002.jpg)

6.5 Creed is the flavor of the week. But I wouldn't get rid of a 7-08 for one. [/quote]
Same here. Have 2 6.5's in the stable that I'm more than happy with. Have a very nice 7mm-08 that shoots bugholes More than satisfied with it.

I always thought the Remington M7600 in 7MM08 would be more popular than it is.

The 7x57 is the 7-08 Improved...no fire forming needed...:) But a Long Action is needed.  Works great for the grown-ups.... You little fu cks can keep using your short actions.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I dig the 7/08. Great round for the Kimber MT platform.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.
