    7MM-08 Favorite Factory Ammo?

    If you can find it there's a lot to like about factory Nosler 120 grain Ballistic Tip ammo. Shoots great out of all my 7MM-08's and have yet to catch one in a critter (y) Or another option that has worked well is the Fusion 140 grain stuff, used to be a great not uber expensive choice.

    rifle stock

    Also, almost forgot one of my favorites:) The McMillan Classic in Edge fill, this has been my go to stock for most of my builds. It has a bit more drop then some like but a fantastic stock for any barrel up to about a #3 contour barrel to maybe 24" finished length to get a good balance. This...

    rifle stock

    Sorry for the confusion - I don't mean the McMillan Hunter but the lightweight Hunters Edge stock which is a pretty traditional shape with no palm swell. This one below. https://mcmillanusa.com/shop/browse-mcmillan-rifle-stock-models/hunting-stock-models/hunters-edge-sporter/

    rifle stock

    The McMillan Hunters Edge would comes in really close to your specs. Its a nice stock, not perfect but its a possible option. Or if you can find one which is tough one of the Proof Elevation stocks are great if going with a CF wrapped barrel. Or even the Manners Ultra Classic?

    Best Tikka stock?

    I put a McMillan Hunters Edge on my 7mm-08 SL and its been a nice rifle to hunt/carry. I've had it probably 5-6 years, the Edge stocks back then where lighter weight versus current ones.

    Bartlein or benchmark cfw barrel

    Here is a chambered and finished #4 Bart CF barrel. Finish length is about 22.5", not sure how the weight compares to a full steel barrel or a Benchmark of similar length but I sure like the 2 I have on my twin 7MM-08 rifles.

    NXS 2.5x10-42 Compact on Tikka T3X with Uknown Munitions rings?

    I'm sure its been posted someplace but how do the UM rings compare in height to the Sportsmatch rings for a 30MM scope? Are the UM lows about the same or lower than he Sportsmatch?

    Question on R700 RR action serial number

    ??? The picture you posted clearly shows the serial number starting with an "S"?? and not an RR. So if that is the case it could certainly be from that time period.

    Piercision Rifles 300 WSM

    Really a nice build, looks like the Benchmark CF barrels are performing well for you.

    Cerakote color

    Tough to tell for sure due to the lighting but if I had to guess I'd say maybe Tungsten or more likely Sniper Grey?

    Talley mounts

    Its actually just fine but I see what you mean:) The bolt handle on the Defiance Rebel is pretty long so it clears the scope just fine luckily.

    Talley mounts

    I have mine set up that way, luckily the spacing worked out fine for my action/rings/scope combo.

    45” wide Utah non-typical

    I've seen a picture of this buck on another "muledeer" forum. I recall it was guided by Wade Lemon Hunting which I also think has had some legal issues. They killed another huge buck that was posted.

    Laponia discontinued

    They have had them on sale lately at Camofire so maybe they have one in your size??

    How rare is a 200 inch mule deer

    Always really enjoy seeing that picture. IMHO that is just one of the coolest mule deer bucks I've ever seen (y)

    Landowner Trespass Fees?

    I had that list in the past but my understanding is they don't update them anymore. Local bio or game warden is still a good option to contact, they may have ideas of who might still do these types of hunts. In the units I've hunted I've seen fees anywhere from $250 to $1000 for a buck...

    High quality Cerakote applicator in Northwest/West?

    Might want to give Karl Feldkamp @ Kampfeld Customs a call. Karl does fantastic work including his Cerakote and usually has stuff back to you pretty quickly. Heck of a nice guy to deal with (y)

    the best 243 win bullet

    Pretty sure that was written by Steve Timm who was also a big fan of the 95 grain BT. He lives or lived a couple blocks away from me and I had talked to him about this many times. He had some incredible mule deer mounts in his house.

    Tikka bolt handles

    The one in the middle is the Campfire bolt knob that Karl put on the Ti handle. It comes with the carbon one on the left which is way too big IMHO. His a just right, I've had a bunch of the Campfire ones done on model 700's.
