7mm08 & 7mm Saum Norma cases are available. Nosler and Hornady Bullets, too.

I want only one of this both calibers 7mm08 or 7mm Saum.

What would you prefer ?

thank you very much.

Get ahead of the game, 7PRC. You'll want the option of buying factory ammo to see if the rifle shoots. If a rifle does not shoot decent factory ammo well (Hornady Match/Precison Hunter or Federal Gold Box) then return to sender...

However, 'light weight & long range' are pairings that don't often go together well.

Read Brian Litz and his TOPGUN (theory of precision), rifle weight is analogous with precision, scope and mounting robustness equals accuracy.

How often do you have the opportunity to practise 500m and further?
