Savage 110 Storm in 7mm-08 is my recommendation. Easy on the shoulder for long range sessions, the accustock is great for fine tuning to fit you exactly and lots of bullet options in 7mm.

You won't get an argument from me, ha. It's those nasty pencil pushers. We should lather them up in honey and drop them off in the middle of nowhere and then they can see first hand how "few" griz there are around. 🙂

No it was deemed trophy hunting and we are no longer allowed to hunt them hence the large increase in their population in certain areas. Up there there's always been a larger population because of how remote it is, but now it's getting to the point that the percentage of a confrontation is...

Report from Northern BC from some friends up the rivers on a jetboat, first day hiking in the middle of nowhere. Never saw a moose, elk or deer but saw 7 grizzly. Came home with only one animal.

I just bought a new 7mm-08 myself for myself and my kids. I got the Savage Storm 110 with the Accu-stock, add or remove height for the cheek weld or spacers at the back for length of pull. Absolutely love the gun, buy it and as she grows then adjust it to fit for the perfect fit. It's a great...

I haven't tried Hammers but that is because I'm in Canada. Are you ever going to be able to get a Canadian distributor set up?

I've got the perfect pump action squirrel killer, it's from 1924. It's a Browning Trombone that I got from my grandpa several years ago. It was shot out so I got it resleeved and drilled for a scope mount on it at the same time, it's a take down so it splits in half. Pretty cool keepsake along...

This has been an interesting read. "I" cannot determine "your" definition of long range.

That's not modern enough for this thread, sorry. 😄

Not quite what you are looking for, but my cousin did a Win 284 in a Savage long action with an 18" barrel. He was shooting the 175 ELD-X just over 2600 fps.

Cody, I think if you just AI the 7-08 you should be good to go. 🤣 In all seriousness, I think you need to do two guns, the 28 for your FIL and a Mega for yourself. That would get you a Max, 28 and Mega and since you would be doing the load work they would all be loaded to the same pressure...

I agree with you, my favorite is my 7mm Rem Mag with the 175's. But with the 7mm-08 in the 0-300 yards range that the OP stated with minimal recoil it's hard to beat the 7-08. I found a lower node with the 150 ELD-X that my kids shoot with this same rifle that is very forgiving as far a...

I'm another proponent for the 7mm-08 at those distances. I have mine running the 150 ELD-X just over 2900 fps with 46 grains of Re17.

I don't understand blanket statements like this, is there a reason or personal bad experience with one of their bullets? I know my dad has killed several elk and moose with the old school 130 and 140 grain interlock in his 270 Win over the years. I've had great success with the 175 ELD-X...

I've had great luck with both the 175 EH and the 175 ELD-X. Retumbo with the Bergers and Re25 with the ELD-X. Both running at 3050fps with really good accuracy. Last trip out with the ELD-X I re-zeroed from my EH load, shot one moved my zero and shot a .3" 4 shot group. Velocities were 3041...
