I have a Rem. 788 carbine in 7mm08. It’s not particularly light but it’s very handy and shoots like a laser .
Yeah, they suck. (sarcasm) I have one, got it on paper with a couple shots and went to 100 with a generic load that worked in a couple other 7mm-08's and it put 5 just under an inch first time shooting at 100.
Adjusted the seating depth .020 and tried it again with the same load, this time 5 went just under 3/4. Like any other 788, unless there's something wrong, they shoot.
