[QUOTE="Rooks, post: 1918432, member: 113765"] I had a rifle chambered in 7mm-08 built on a Mauser M98 action, Shilen barrel, timney trigger and a stock from Richards microfit that I inletted and finished my self. I use it for exactly your application and it sees some time on the range up to 600 yds. The rifle really loves the Nosler BT 120gr on a healthy dose of Varget. My accuracy shines at about 3065fps and the recoil is so mild I watch holes form in paper at 100yds and I’ve seen every bullet hit the deer in the scope so far. That bullet gets bullied in the breeze past 400 yds so I worked up another load with the hornady 162 ELD-M. Still working the bugs out of that one but I think I’ll get it to come around. Solid cartridge, nothing wrong with it. If I had it to do over again I would look hard at the 6.5x55 Swedish so I could the BC up and the recoil down.[ATTACH type="full"]197582[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
