[QUOTE="CHRIS MCBRIDE, post: 2038203, member: 110693"] Not sure if stated too lazy to read all. 7mm-08 is great round. Capable of longer shot than normally will get in south unless covering a bean field. Less report than a big magnum,which I normally hunt with. Plenty knock down for deer. IMO as good or better than a lot of the 6.5 stuff. &mm gives wide range of very good bullet design and weights. I just built a custom AR-10 in 7mm-08 and love it. well under inch at 200 yrds,almost no recoil(to me any way but then shooting 7mm mag for last 31 years) and while far from quite its lot less report than my 7 mag. Built on 80% lower, with high grade BCG and a McGowen barrel. Using La rue trigger which is way better than mil spec *** it is not optimum trigger and will be changed as soon as extra 300 bucks show up. Regardless of what you build do not skimp on quality parts and that goes dbl for barrel and trigger. Amazing what a good clean lite trigger will do for accuracy. My AR ran me around 1000 bucks and half of that is barrel and I will be at 1200 once I get trigger I want in it. That puts barrel and trigger at 75% of cost. [/QUOTE]
