I was hoping for a little more technical gack.

I have been shooting 139 gr scenars in my 6.5 and am now starting work with 150 gr scenars in my 7-08 Varmint Special.

My 6.5 is a pleasure to shoot and capable of hitting 4" sporting clays at 550 yards.

Comparing drops with the same type of bullet and similar velocities, the 7-08 is quite impressive without the fanfare. Very similar recoil.

The first 7-08 I got my hands on was a birthday present for my then 9 year old son. It is a Browning X Bolt micro medallion that shoots really well. He has killed many whitetails with it and we even shot steel out to 550. He is in med school now but will never sell that rifle since he still enjoys shooting it.

Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.
