Wrong boltface for 7-08 but that would make a handy light rifle for deer and moderate range elkYour Tikka is already set with the LA bolt stop so you won’t have to mess with that no matter what cartridge you choose. 7-08 is awesome.
You are probably correct and I wont make any modifying an already adequate rifle. Always looking for improvement. I already have several good rifles. Looking to save some weight if I do another one.Not what you want to hear but I’d leave the rifle as is and use the money for stuff that actually matters, like optics, boots, gas and/or tags.

What’s the old adage about rebarreling, “don’t shoot the donor”? I wouldn’t rebarrel a proven shooter like that one. If you want something lighter, sell the 7mag and buy a lightweight.
