My 7mm/08 build is finally finished. Bell & Carlson stock, Timney trigger & 23" sporter weight barrel The genesis for the project was a 1984 Rem 700 BDL action. Here's a few pics









This was my 2nd 5 shot group attempt with my new outfit. Believe me, I was happy the way it performed.

Nice, love the clean bedding job.

I have a similar M-700 in 7-08, a Bobby Hart build that I put in a Hunters Edge. It also has a Timney trigger, a 501.

So far, I'm just shooting factory Nosler 120 NBT's. Gotta work up some loads.

Pharmseller likes Big Game for his 7-08, shoots some good groups.

DF

That is a beauty!

Nice looking rifle.

Who did the bluing?

Bluing does look great. Goes with the gloss finished scope.

Everything these days is matte, that rigs looks retro on an elegant way. I like it.

DF

Burris no longer make gloss Trumount bases. I ended buying a pair in matt finish, remove the bluing, sanded them by hand with 1200 wet/dry sandpaper, polished them and then had them reblued.

Nice rig, dingo. Great choice in chambering for 7mm-08!

Yep.

Do a search for Pharmseller's 7-08 load. He seems to have it worked out pretty well.

DF

What a beautiful hunting rifle, in a great cartridge. Congrats.

Glad your new rifle shoots as good as it looks. Are Remington 700s popular in Australia? What are the most popular big game calibers? I know the old British .303 was used a lot there.

Scope sucks. Rings/bases suck.

45-seconds of actual use,would "reveal" same.

Hint.................

Helluva bed job!

Unfortunately..."good" bedding can NOT be "seen". Congratulations?!?

Hint...............

It can be seen on the target and he posted a picture

Hint..............grin!

Trybone,

Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery and you suck a mean ass. Congratulations?!?

Bless your heart.

Hint................

In fairness to your "means","abilities" and "comprehension"...vertical stringing THAT loud,is no "attribute" at the100yd line(or any other). Congratulations?!?

HINT..............

The vertical stringing clearly points to not being in the node, not bedding!

Congratulations!

Hint................

The vertical stringing clearly points to not being in the node, not bedding!

Congratulations!

Hint................

Trybone,

Stupidity isn't a "Node". Though in fairness...Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Congratulations?!?

Bless your heart.

Hint.............

I do appoligized your being forced to guess and perhaps need a dozen or so groups to come to the correct conclusion.

Hint............

Trybone,

It's cool...you can ONLY Plagiarize. Congratulations?!?

Hint.............

Always fun to go to bed and pound hole. Hint. ya

Does it matter, whilst smoking critters in a light????? Haha

You poor dumb bastard......

Stick has to wait to.pound hole until the rest of the trailer park is done with his kid

Oh my...you "Hard Chargers "REALLY "..."get after it"! With that much stored angst,you Ladies must really "set" the bar? Congratulations?!?

LAUGHING!

Hint...................

The rifle looks very nice.

+1

It can't/won't hold zero...if only for starters.

Hint..................

Pretty funny to see where I vacation, rent-free!

Trybone,

You could always follow me around and reiterate what a Clueless Fhuqk you are. Ooooooopsie!...too late. Congratulations?!?

Hint..................

Do you mean when throwing your schitt around like a 5 year old having a tantrum or Youtube attention whore, or normal use like most responsible adults?

I like the 7mm 08. A lot of power in a small case. It’s a very efficient killer. My boy has killed a lot of deer with his, a ton of hogs too. He got it when he was eleven, still using it twenty years later with an adult size stock. He has a little boy that will be using it before long.

Trybone,

Actual use,does things to wares...that Imagination and Pretend cannot resolve. Congratulations?!?

Hint.................

henco,

I've only rebarreled a single 7-08 (6) times thus far...but admittedly have a "few" others.

Hint............

Quit throwing it the creek along side what ever fish you caught, when you take your hero pics...
and it probably still would be on the original barrel, there Rusty....

Shefire,

Do NOT "forget",that Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Congratulations?!?

Hint.................

I'll bet Fug Stick has ruined more barrels like that than he has actually shot out. The troll still uses moly, which is hygroscopic.

Trybone,

Pardon my shooting more,than you could even fhuqking BEGIN to fathom. Congratulations?!?

This High Desert AO,is VERY forgiving. LAUGHING!

Hint................

If you actually learned from your shots instead of plinking like a 5 year old at a dump, you'd have won some matches. Or maybe you don't really shoot much, you just hoard and fish?

Oh my...your Dumbfhuqktitude is INCREDIBLE. Congratulations?!?

"hoard"?

Bless your heart for TRYING!

Hint...........

Stick, unfortunately coal, mag restraints, twist, throat geometry, gadgets, toys, spending $1000s of dollars a week on guns, parts, scopes, bedding compound, rings, bases, super duper barrels and whatever else you do on your island that is 70 miles long 30 miles wide is only 5% of the equation where as the hunter is 95%

You are pretty damn proud for a 5% er!!! Maybe spend more time hunting and less time wearing out barrels. Maybe show us what a 180 eld-m looks like that's been through a shoulder, heart, or lungs!

I would love to follow you around reiterating my dumbfuckitude but I'm busy getting my pack animals ready for a 50 mile wilderness adventure. My guess is a horse would likely kick your fool head off. Are you smarter than a horse? If your not well your dumbfuckitude dude!!! 😁 I thought about buying 6 barrels but bought 4 mules and two horses instead and I'm smarter than all of them. I don't recommend it for stuck on my 70 x 30 mile island chunt! What's a matter.....island got yur chunt? Drive 30 miles and start licking the ocean. Drive 30 miles the other way and lick the ocean again. Ocean licking, island got your chunt, dumbfuckitudinal 5% er!

Haven't been there haven't done that but hey I have rebarreled 5697 rifles. The throat geometry, twist and all things align nicely and it better because it is litteraly EVERY THING THAT THERE IS. I've also posted pics of 25 critters I've kilt! Imagine that! 5697 rifles all rebarreled at least 6 times $250,000 dollars later and I have eaten at least 10 deer and 5 bear. I can't believe you don't weight several thousand pounds!!! I mean good Lord all the rifles and bullets and scopes you must eat at least 120 lbs of venison a day!!! You go you hard charger you. For all the effort, time and money you obviously have enouph venison stored up dried, pickled, jerky, etc to live at least 2500 years and it's no surprise to any of us considering you are actually immortal. I know you didn't say it but you did elude to it. That is a LONG time to live on a 70X30 island 😂😂😂😂😂



Trystan

Sweet rifle, great choice with 7-08!

That’s one of the better looking rifles I’ve seen lately....


2 thumbs way up.

Trybone,

Your CLUELESSNESS,is Hilarious!

Hint...................

I would certainly get rid of the bedding out from underneath the barrel, which is a last ditch hail mary attempt to try and get harmonics right. Free float to the lug, make sure bottom of lug is free floated.

3/8"-1/2" should be easy to attain IF that is important to you.

I ride a mule and pack a horse.

LMFAO

I literally laughed out loud when I saw this!

Ohh and OP...very nice rifle!

Dingo-beautiful rifle and I love the 7-08, it should put many meals on the table!

Good looking rifle, mine is a 700 sps stainless in a McMillan mountain rifle stock. Shoots 120 gr bt and ttsx at 3200 fps with big game powder at .75 moa or better. It is my go to rifle when I have to get serious. I would feel comfortable with it on anything I would shoot out to 400 yards, up to elk.

Dingo,
Of all the more gooder scope mounts on the market, why would you be so endeared to those antiquated, prehistoric bases?

Simply a heavily compromised piece of useless schit,that cain't weather a storm.

Hint...………………...

Made my day reading that..... pretty damn funny.

Few things funnier,than Window Lickers...taste testing. Congratulations?!?
