StormbringerNew custom 7mm-08 is a keeper
I looked over the gun library at our local Cabelas and came up with a great find.
Remington Sportsman 78 short action (700 basically)
Shilen Select 22" featherweight SS barrel
in 7mm-08. Barrel by Shilen with accurizing.
McMillian Woodland Camo Remington Mountain stock.
Burris rings/bases and Signature 2-8x32 scope.
Gun is 6.25 lbs. Sure is gorgeous and in initial load testing shoots great. Best group .378 w/120 ballistic tips and H380.
Gonna be a great little rifle for my son next year.
I think I got a great deal at $750.00. Plus I had a coupon for a $150.00 gift card if you spent over $500.00 which bought me my dies, brass and lots of bullets.

DocI think your son would be better of with some other rifle. Why don't you send the whole set up to me, and I'll personally test it for a decade or so.

hikerbumI wish they would put some deals like this on their inernet gun library. Everything listed there is way overpriced.
