Got the modified rings from 16bore the other day. As I've reported, great work, great fit. Tikka T3 7mm08, B&C stock, Talley LW's, VX3 2.5-8x36 Not much of a target poster, but all works as it should also.

That's a real $hitty rifle there JG. You should send it to me for proper disposal.

I've been a 7mag slut for over 30 years, now I'm just a slut I guess.....becoming very fond of the 7-08
Dogcatcher, sharp eye there. Just got a wild hair and used the black one that came with it, scratched it up, used acetone, sprayed it with flat olive camo spray paint, sprayed black webbing....perfect match. I figured worse case I'd strip it and repaint it flat black but I kind of like it.

16 Bore, I really like those modified mounts. If I had a Tikka, I'd be begging you to make me a set.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I guess I'm in the dark on these. Modified how and from what? They appear to have been dovetailed.

Now yer talkin', JG!
I'm switching to Big Game for all my 708's. Where do you think 45.5 falls between a medium charge and max? Is it getting close to the top?
I should have just bought a [bleep] T3...

yukon......how the heck are you buddy? I'm at max mag length @ roughly 2.805 OAL. I worked up loads from 43.5 to 48g in .5g increments and got the sticky bolt thing going @ 48. To be honest none of the groups were much over 1". Since I'm getting older and becoming more of a big puzzy I decided that I'd settle for a moderate recoil load around 2800fps and that's where the 45.5 landed. You can see by the pics, the magnum primers, in this case Fed 215M, sucked up the group pretty good. This was the third time I verified this load, comparing CCI BR's and Fed 215M and the Fed sucked them up every time. Mule Deer gave me the tip and it worked wonderfully. Hope that helps.
BTW, I was lusting over the pics of your modified Tikkas on that other thread......way sweet my friend.

Lowlife.....
Are you running any 50mm Obj scopes? Had a fella asking about them and Med/Lows. I'm thinking it's gonna have to be highs, based on my 'rithmatic....

I've heard R15 works great too. Truth be known in this rifle I don't think it would matter much. Varget, IMR 4350, H4350, and Big Game have all given me very accurate loads.
