I Should have been a bit clearer,
I used to own an Elite in 308 (pictured) however I sold it. I am now looking to buy another (loved the features of the Elite) but already own a great Thompson Center 308 so was interested in the Elite in 7mm-08. However I would like to stabilise 162gr-175gr...
Hi, does anyone own a Steyr Elite in 7mm-08 and would be able to confirm the twist rate? The details I can find state a 1:12 twist which seems slow/odd considering the Scout is 1:8.6.
Thanks
My Thompson 6.5 Creedmoor arrived in the country last week (Australia). I put my spare scope on to see how it grouped and I must say what a sweet rifle.
Easily punches out 1/2 moa groups with Hornady 140gr factory ammo and claimed its first kill.
Couldn't be happier!!
Hi Mod7nut, I own a couple of other Thompson Icons but none in 6.5 . Thompsons are definitely shooters. I'd like to get onboard with 6.5 cal as I have heard nothing but good things with this round.
