[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 181517, member: 9705"] [b]My custom model 7[/b] I have a custom built mod 7 in 7-08AI. It has a 22 inch barrel in #3 taper with a 10 twist. Jewel trigger set at 2lbs. I haven't shot anything bigger than 140 Nosler BT and accubond. These get about 3000 fps. Should be able to get about 2800 fps out of a 160 accubond. But I think that falls a little short of a 600 yd elk load. Do think it is adequate for 600 yd auodad sheep which is more my target game. My rifle weights about 8 lbs all up with 3-9 leupd scope. I find the rifle very light and handy to carry all day. Won't want it any lighter or shorter. The accuracy is nothing short of great ~1/3 moa. Have shot many three shot groups with all shots touching. Hard to beat that in such a light rifle. Almost no recoil. By far my best moderate range hunting rifle. [/QUOTE]
