I ran one in 7-08 for awhile, would run one again. One of the many kills with it that I'm fond of, stalked this blacktail cross buck in his bed, he was the biggest of (5) bucks bedded in a frost covered burn on that nippy October morning: MtnHtr

Got this one for college graduation back in '98. 7mm-08, just put the Talley Ultra Lows on a while back. Leupold 2-7 with aluminacaps. She's been pretty good to me and not so good to numerous white-tails over the years.

Olive mcschabel edge, leupold 4x33 in qd talley rings. At 6lbs without scope that 350 should be pretty snappy!

I recently tried a Model 7 for the first time and it quickly became my favorite rifle of all time. Schnabel forend and all, it fits me like a glove. Specs are 308 / McMillan M7 stock / #4 Krieger @ 20". I see something very similar but chambered in 223 in the near future. Love that rifle. As you are finding out they are very addictive. I have 2 customs on the seven action both with heavy-ish barrels like yours that are sweet rifles

My dad bought it for me when I was 13, still has taken more game with it than all my other rifles combined. Now that I am married I bought a McMillian Edge stock, fluted the barrel, and topped it was a VX-3 in talleys and my wife uses it. She's getting quick the resume with the rifle as well.

Model 7 in 7mm-08 w/ a AI stock w/ aluminum bedding block: Never got around to working up a load for this rifle - it shoots the Federal 140 Accubonds into about 1" at 100yds and I just never have gotten the energy to try and improve that. This was my first "real" hunting rifle and I've taken more deer with it than all of my other rifles combined. David
