[QUOTE="jasche, post: 262824, member: 3286"] Thank you everyone for your help so far. This rifle will be used basically to learn the craft of long range shooting. At first i'll mainly be shooting steel, milk jugs, and prairie dogs at various ranges and learn as i go. Wont be too far to start with but im hoping to stretch it to 8-1000ish. It'll go deer hunting with me when i get confident with it. I wanted to go with 7mm-08 because its a mild round, flies a bit better than the 308, and hits a bit harder than the 260. Its going on a savage long action so when i become a better shot to the point where I can take advantage of a bigger case i can just rebarrel to something bigger. Yes i plan on throating it for the 162 amax. I dont think the 180's would have much advantage in this smaller case. Thanks for the advice! [/QUOTE]
