I finally did it.

Just purchased a 7mm-08 in a Bergara B14 Ridge. I know I know I know Tikka T3x or bust but there were no 7mm-08 Tikkas available and I had my heart set on a 7mm-08. Going to pair this with hawkins featherweight rings and Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 scope.

Nice, the 708 is one of the best.
120 grain ballistic tips if you are going out 300, 162 hornadys for the long stuff

There's a 7mm-08 stainless T3x on guns.com right now. Or there was last night, anyway. It's not too late!!

I am a big fan of the 7-08. Been shooting it since the early 2000s.

I agree with Castle that if you are a 300 and in hunter, the 120 grain NBT is a fantastic bullet. The 162s are good, but you can run out of room in the case really quickly if you have mag or chamber restrictions that are going to limit you to around 2.800" OAL. If that is the case, the 150 grain ELD-X bullets are a very good compromise. They will perform out to the outer limits of the 7-08s ability.

Congrats on the new rifle. I look forward to seeing how it performs.
