I let a buddy of mine use my Model 7 and he "ringed" himself on the scope.

He learned I wasn't kidding when I said "she kicks a bit..." but he loved the Model 7. He got one in .243 but I was leaning hard on him to get a 7mm-08. To be honest, I love that round (One of the most efficient "lead launchers" on the planet, IMHO.) and wanted to see how it would work in a Model 7.

Sarge, I think you are right. A 7mm-08 Model 7 might just be 'rifle perfection.'
