I know it’s not the most popular rifle but I have one in 7mm-08 and it weighs only 5.5lbs. I originally bought it to set up as a ultralight rifle for bighorn sheep hunting.
I’ll be honest I set it up with a swaro z3 brx scope to keep it light and it shot lights out at the range but I always seemed to grab my 8lb 30-06 with a dedicated dialling scope for extended ranges. I have taken countless elk/moose/deer with this gun and have confidence in it.
So now with the threads on smaller cartridges it has me re thinking the 7mm-08 as my do it all rifle now. I am wondering if anyone has threaded this thin barrel or dropped it into a new stock also? The stock one is flimsy.
