Well...they call it the long ranger, chamber it in long range capable cartridges, and market it for ‘longer distances’. It’s too ugly for my tastes, so I guess I’ll never find out how accurate one really is.

Isn't it more or less a old style BLR ?
I've had old BLR's in 243 and 308 that would
shoot 200-250 no problem ( that's about as far as
I take a shot at a wt deer)
Don't they offer a 243 or a 308 ?

Nothing against a 7-08 Rem, but what can it kill at 300-400 yards that a 308 Win lever gun won’t. Answer is nothing. In fact the 308 Win based lever gun has a larger window of use with 1-10 twist barrel shooting 120-200 grain loads. Of which ammo is everywhere. You’ll never see a 1-8 twist barrel on a 7-08 magazine fed factory made lever gun. A 308 Win with 178 eld-x is a great performer near and far on big game. It’s been done thousands of times on every continent.

358 Win and 250 Savage. They would sell out in less than a month. 👍

200-250 yards instead of 100-125. Deer at 200 yards is cake with an accurate .30-30 or .35. Done it at that and farther several times.

Not sure how this ended up being "My way is better than your way"!
Was hoping to hear what others want as well as putting out some energy for a 7mm-08.
Like the idea of a 257 bob and 250Savage, 358 338fed too.
Sold the Henry 6.5 without shooting it because it wasn't a 7mm-08.
BLR's are nice, but after watching 150 of my co-workers loose their jobs I just can't see owning anything not built in the US and sold my 7mm-08 BLR (my opinion for myself only)
Picked up an 88 in 308 so guess I'm good that way.

I prefer classic.
