Should juat get your 708 reamed out.

Perhaps to 7mm saum (same brass length as the 7mm08) Then you have a 162 a-max @ 3050fps

Also a great upgrade for all those 270WSM Tikka T3s out there, same bolt face, just a rebarrel and the saum brass fits in the mag.

Whats your shortest saum? The 7-08 is running a 19" barrel at present with suppressor. Wanted a nice short combo for the wife. Be interesting to see if a saum/280/284 could make much of a gain in a 19"tube (saum would require heavier suppressor)

Edit: by getting more perfornance from the short barrel i would be making my 7mm mag slightly redundant and think i would need to check with gunsmith about if the standard syppressor would handle the pressure of these cases on a short barrel

Iv got the 280 reamer too, great caliber and unbeatable in a tikka package
