7mm-08 for elk?
Mag length is not your limitation on the tikka. If required as others have stated you can swap out for a long action bolt stop and magazine and your COL grows up to 3.4 if required or an M+ magazine might get you there as well. -

7mm-08 for elk?
Yes and no. If you’re talking sleek high BC bullets yes about 160 ish class bullets with. 9.5 twist. But you can run something like a 175 partition no problem. -

Rifle scope for Alaska hunting
Well I danced around the 223/243/6.5 as to not attract unwanted attention from the 223 thread, but that’s what I’m specifically referencing. Have you noticed any difference in the “killing ability” between that an say the 06 which I believe you have some experience with? I have hunted with a... -

Bigger objective lens and aging eyes
I have normally put something about 40mm objective and 12x or less on my rifles and never thought I was missing anything. On hunt for new scope and looked through a few 50 and 56mm scopes.
