Gents, I am going to purchase a 7mm08Remington soon.
What are you blokes using? Pictures please

I don't know how to post my pics here(I'm pretty new) but I have 2 rifles in 7mm-08, my personal favorite caliber. One is a 1988 Remington 700 mountain rifle and the other is a 1994 Winchester 70 featherweight classic. Both wear Leupold vx2 3x9's.

Same rifle as above with a different sack of pork chops..

Kimber Montana-

Winchester 70 Carbine

Skinny barreled 7-08’s are my favorites.

My favorite rifle:
Kimber Montana with 2.5x8

Remington 788 Carbine, now wears a 6x42 Leupold. Shoots 140gr Fusion handloads at 2,700.



Remington 660, rebarreled with a 7mm-08 SS 700 barrel at 20". No longer wears a ammo carrier. Now scoped with a Leupold 2.5-8. Shoots factory 139gr Interlock loads.



Remington 700 SS, cut to 20". Wears a Leupold 3-9x40 with LRD. Shoots 120TTSX.

How do you guys like those 2.5x8's?

I'd love to go lighter than my 6x SuperChicken but loath to give up the reliability.

I assume the tape on the muzzle is to keep out dirt or snow. What is the purpose of the tape just forward of the forearm? Thanks

I like it on a compact rig, but find the 3.5-10 version a touch easier to get behind. Both of those scopes, along with the later VX-II and VX-2 3-9x40 are easy for my eyes to work with. The 3-series glass seems a hair better.

Replace the tape at the end after you shoot.

Dang good looking 7-08 fellas. I’ve got a Tikka Compact 7-08 but I’m always on the lookout for a Montana or M70 Featherweight.

The Compact is my daughters but she’s kind enough to let me use it now and again!

7mm-08s are for sissies.
