[QUOTE="Flintlock, post: 2001882, member: 6546"] The 7-08 or 7-08AI is a great round. I have been shooting them in XP100's for years with 15 or 16" barrels and they will shoot a long way from those barrels. I have had two XP's just recently built in the .284. Don't have to worry about the magazine since they are single shot but running the Accubond or. Berger the barrel likes, I have to take the bolt out to remove a un-fired round. It is a short action, just like the Model 7 Rem. I have learned to just not chamber a round until I'm set up and ready to send one. I didn't think about have a bolt release machined into the action when they were built. One is going. back for a bolt release after this season and a break. If I need any more power than the .284's I have I just dust off the .300 SAUM, HS Precision 2000 bolt action pistol and light them up with 150grn Accubonds using a rifle scope on it. :cool: I have killed deer, antelope, prairie dogs and coyotes with my 7-08 out to 405 yards using a Burris 3x12 pistol scope. I'm sure with the rifle he wants it would reach way past 500 if he has good glass and a steady hand. Good luck with your venture. Mike [/QUOTE]
