The 7mm-08 was originally the darling of the high power silhouette rifle crowd as the ballistics of the .284 bullet was a bit flatter than the then king the .308 Winchester.

Let us know how it turned out.

Randy, I am going to take it, moreso as an investment than a shooter. It is a Browning X-bolt with a Monte Carlo wooden stock and a Bushnell Elite 4200 series 2.5-10x. He says it has only been fired less than 20 times and on maybe a dozen hunts. He wanted me to give him $750 for it. I think that is fair for a gun of that quality and condition. I already have Browning Gold Medallions in 7mm mag and .270.

I have been unable to make up my mind as to buy it or not but those here are speaking highly of it so I will bite the bullet so to speak and buy it. Anyway, if I do not, the preacher's boss may hit me with lightning or something.
