I'm also a huge fan of the 7mm-08. My dad started using one in the '90s (in a Model 7), and I bought my first one in early '00 or '01...a Remington 700Ti (still have the rifle). Oddly enough, I don't use the 7mm-08 to hunt with much anymore....although I do have two rifles built in 7mm08 for long range shooting. One is a 22" medium heavy barrel built on a trued 700 action in an AICS stock, the other is a 26" heavy Bartlein built on a Defiance Tenacity action (also in an AICS).
