....I recently found a second hand 7mm08 for sale but the barrel is a 18.5 inches one .....
Must be a Rem 788 if it is a factory rifle. I had one, and there's not a thing wrong with the ballistics, just a bit off in handling. Balance was a bit weird to me.

It's a Steyr Scout.
second hand steyrs are like second hand anvils.
i have the mountain in 7-08 and just loaded up some 140 barnes w/ varget.
nice to have that very long steyr magazine to play with OAL. i loaded the 140's to 2.825" and still have 1/4" left in the mag.
keep in mind steyrs have VERY fast barrels. i shoot a little 20" 308 that clocks factory federal GM at 2550 MV.
