Mike G Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'm considering getting this rifle in 7mm-08 for next deer season. Anyone have any experience with this rifle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I got one for this deer season(left hand in 7mm-08). Its the standard not compact. it is a very accurate and smooth gun. I took a buck with it on opening day at about 65yrds. he went about 20yrds. I love this round. I took a big doe a few days later at about 100yrds and she went nowhere. I think this gun/cal combo is awsome for deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikka T3 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I've been carrying one for three yrs now in 7-08. I load 140 Rem PSPCL and they just flatten deer. I've got a Leupold 2-7 on it. Only problem I have is when shooting it without a hunting coat on I use a slip on pad for extra length. Other than that it's a great gun.

Do you have any problems with muzzle flash due to the short barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
