Thread: Model 7 7mm08 150gn eldx load development

Definitely consider 3-15, plenty of affordable good quality options available for it, can shoot 800+ yards comfortably at 15 power if you bother with steel or long range wallabies etc. Shortest i've used the 3 power was on a Thar at 30 yards (which was a surprise I must admit) but found it easy as in the scope. Maybe if it was a big red at 30 yards might have been different but looking through a 3 power I think anything at 20+ yards it will be capable. The Burris signature hd 3-15 I have is pretty good value, great glass, reticle, illumination, elevation and windage dials, while still being relatively light at 560grams (there is also a non-illuminated version that is lighter). Before that I had a minox 3-15 which I also had great success with at a variety of ranges and steel out at 800.
If you are mostly shooting sub 350 then there is also a compact signature HD in 2-10 which would suit well (but why not shoot further if you can).

On another note, just scored 2 boxes of 7mm08 precision hunter to keep me going till I get my load worked out.
