Thread: Dialing the 7mm-08

@buzzman you're natural point of aim must be phenomenal for such feats.

Tikka t3 18" Hardy can,SHV 4x14.Loaded with 150gr eldx and a dash of 2208(possibly @buzzman 's recipe?).Haves dropped deer at 350m and rang steel at 700m.My 10yr old son has happily shot it on steel out to 300m with no complaints.

I've been using a 7/08 for 10-15 years now. If I do my part, everything seems to fall over from 0-500 yards pretty well.

The 140 BT is seriously useful

I am.

Very similar setup to yours. Very nice to use but a bit heavy now.
I have a smaller rifle with a VX3 4.5-14 CDS in mRad on it, so I like the scope although it does compromise on some aspects.
Used the 7mm 08 on a tahr block recently and succeeded with my longest shots ever (wont say what - don't want to encourage others beyond their self-established distances).
It's also very good on the short shots and beautiful to carry in the bush without its suppressor.

There’s a few Sika starting to enjoy the sunny feed faces now that winter is closing, perfect job for the 7mm08

The 7mm08 is still proving itself as a dual purpose machine, anyone just started using one or picked up another after having a break ?

Hardly dialling but doing the business last night. Barnes 120 Gn triple shock. Base of neck. Point and shoot.

Got to try mine out on something other than cardboard targets recently
154sst @ 325m puts deer to sleep on the spot

Looks tropical!

Bit cold for a northern fulla that’s for sure, pig rooting grows icicles like mushrooms, hard to say no when deer hunting offers are a once a decade thing these days

Just need to select a scope vx3-5 undecided hoping it likes the 150lrab 0-400 yards bush and slips covered 16” kaimai suppresor a first for me

Bro I saw this on the alpine precision gram, 1-8 is just begging for absolute hammers!
