[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2388633, member: 30902"] The 7-08 is not going to be a high velocity round no matter what bullets you choose due to the limited case size. If sending things down rage really fast is your goal you're going to have to look at 7's with more powder capacity. I've had some incidents where I have bumped a scope off in the field. When I thought I might have done so I simply take a practice shot and see if/how much it is, adjust accordingly and move on. The only times I've wounded an animal and had a hard time finding and recovering it due to such a bump was when I talked myself into believing, "Naa, it should be fine" in spite of the incident. It always pays to be sure. [/QUOTE]
