Nice outfit , I love the old Simmons AETECs , they aren't fussy about eye relief at all . On hard kicking rifles you can keep the scope out of your eyebrow with them ! My pet hunting load for my 7mm-08 is a Speer 145 Gr. Hot-Core , over 47 Gr. of W-760/H-414 ! Enjoy , the 7mm-08 is a real friendly cartridge , kills anything without beating you up or breaking the bank . It's a handloaders dream to load for , you have to look real hard for a load that they won't shoot well !
