i might be able to get a hold of a tc encore 7mm-08. but dont know that much about the round. the guy wants 550 dollars for the gun but we will see. ill get to see the gun on friday.
does anyone shoot that round, is it a good round? A "tup" or a :thumbs down:
7mm-08 has been called by many the "best deer caliber ever built". Buddy of mine has one and handloads for it. I really wish I had one
yeah i have been doing some reading on it. it sound good.
i have one it is a :thumbs up:
Ive used it for over 25 yrs now, extremely accurate, low recoil, easy to reload for i've made 120 to 170 grain bullets with numerus powders & primers and all shoot sub moa at 100 yds. in the remington model 7 with 18 inch bbl it is short,light handy in a tree or heavy brush and with a low power variable scope ( I use a leupold 1.5x5) on the low power setting it is faster on a snap/running shot than my open sighted winchester or sluggun. the only down sides I've found are the trigger pull from the factory stinks, have a good gunsmith bed the barrel/ lighten and smooth the action and trigger, and put a good quality recoil pad on it (money well spent ) and you will never want to use anything else. I have a fair amount of deer rifles and this is my favorite. I had some problems using nosler ballistic tips and barnes x bullets when they first came out, good lung/shoulder shots and the deer hardly felt it they resumed eating as if nothing had happened small entry and exit holes. this happened 2x for me & 2x for my hunting bud using a 308, distances were short at 20 - 40 yds. since switching to nosler partitions they usualy drop in their tracks,I now use a high shoulder shot when possible. a 308 will probably work just as well for you and easier/cheaper to find ammo if you dont reload.
