[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 367988, member: 2736"] +1 for the 7/08 ! It has good bullet selections in 160 to 180 grain pills with out standing BCs. It is just a 308 necked down and if you want Lapua brass you can buy 308 and neck turn and size to 7/08 for some extremely precision brass that will last for a long time. Barrel life and recoil are not an issue and accuracy is very good. I have shot over 20,000 rounds through a 308 and accuracy is still less than 1/2 MOA with the original barrel and the 7/08 barrel life should be just as long . Like everything else the 7/08 has it's limits and under high wind conditions it doesn't fair as well as the Big 7s or 30s . If I were starting over in high power shooting I would build a 7/08 instead of my trusty 308 because of the advantages for this type of shooting. (All positions and 200,300,600 and 1'000 yard accuracy). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
