Well, I just stumbled across this thread and realized that I had never responded once I got my custom 7mm-08 build completed.
Here are the final specs:
- Remington 700 donor receiver
- Bartlein #3B R5 24" 1-9 Twist Stainless Barrel
- Glass bedded and free floated
- Boyds Laminated Stock
- Kepplinger Single Set Trigger 3.2 Lbs / 12Oz
- Zeiss Conquest HD5 5-25x50 Locking Turrets
- Burris Signature Z Rings High
I worked up a 120BT load over a max charge of H414 which is averaging about 2,900 FPS and .25" CTC groups.
Took a two doe and an 8PT this pass season. All were at about 100 Yds. One doe neck shot DRT. The other two were behind the shoulder and complete pass throughs. Both went about 30 yds.
So far I am real pleased with the rifle and am looking forward to working up more loads for it this spring/summer.
