I just can't brag enough on this Rem.model 7, 7-08.
I've got 26 inch barreld rifles that can't hold a light to this little 20 inch tack driver.I first zeroed the scope in at 85yrd.and cut 3 bullet holes on a quarter size target and was tickled pink. Then today i was wondering if i could do better.
Today i moved 1 click right and up,cut 2 bullet holes on a dime and did this twice on 2 diff. targets.Next i'm going for pea sized targets but just couldn't hold it steady after those to dime shots so i never pulled the trigger.
Didn't want to ruin my record!
Hat's off to Remington.

I think there's something magical about short barrels (read stiff). I have an LTR that will cut holes more often than me.

Way to go!
What bullet and manufacturer were you shooting?
Remington 700 Mountain DM 7mm-08, Bushnell 3200 4x12. I love the combo.

Thanks.
I have been pleased with the Federal 140g with Barnes TSX, but I have read about the Hornady's SST but can't find any local.

Model70man,
Could not find any Hornady's 7mm-08, but they had about 100 boxes of 416 Remingtons in Knoxville anyway.
BTW. I hear you are the man to see about some yotes? We got and we want them out. PM me if your interested in talking.

I don't believe that I have ever heard of anyone sighting in a rifle at 85 yards. Obviously, it doesn't really matter what distance that you use, but,how did you happen to choose that distance?
