    I've never needed one because I've got a 7x57 you see. But based on that's performance a 708 shouldn't be all that bad 🙂

    Subtle one upmanship.
    Well done
    I have a 7x57 as well, nothing wrong with any of the 7mm’s
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    All my other rifles,except my rim fires, hate my 7mm08.They stay safe bound while the 08 goes every time.Does it all.
    Stainless 595 Tikka, Dpt,Conetrol rings,Kahles scope.I hand load but it shoots the blue box federal so well I dont need to,until I run out.
    The first time I shot the 595 I was going to throw it away,5 shots 3 holes WTF? how could it throw 2 shots completely off target?went home disappointed.Next day looking at the target contemplating selling,hang on,2 of the holes look slightly oval penny dropped.
    Even purchasing the rifle was lucky.Seller in Richmond?(nelson). I want it but how?need to check it out and transport to the other end of the Island.
    Wait a sec my brother is traveling around some where."Bro where are you right now"?"Just driving through Richmond why"?.Tin arse shot 2 deer on the way home before I had even touched the rifle.Will never sell it.
