id like to see it used in another plate video line up and see how they compare, i use 7mm-08 vs 7mm mag due to simply it eats a lot less powder than the mag, as well as there really isnt to much of a trade off of energy, velocity, and super sonic range. A lot cheaper on the reloading, you get all the benefits of the mag but in a small package

Hey bud, Not knockin your sighting in skills, but a wise man told me one day. Aim at your intended target, shoot a round. Now aim at the hole you just shot, and with the gun in the vise, turn your scope dials until your scope lines up with the intended target. This should get you there in just a couple rounds.

My Remington model 7 CDL , 7mm-08 is back at Remington for a second time to be repaired, first time wouldn’t chamber a round, second time to replace the barrel, and the way things are at Remington right now I don’t think I’ll get it back for hunting. Good thing I’ve got my Ruger American Predator sighted in and ready to hunt. Thanks for another great video.

@thejokerswild-n-crazy I know my model 7 CDL looks good but that’s it, new word from Remington, only original parts will be the stock and bolt, replacing the rest. I have my grandfathers 300 Savage, Super Sporter with the Lyman peep site, it was left to my father and now me, I can hit a six inch paper plate at 150 yards. The rifle has to be 75 years old, at least.

Purchased a Tikka 7mm-08 last year. Love it. Check all the boxes for what I wanted. Stainless steel barrel, removable magazine, bolt locked in place when on safety. Fun round to shoot. Better ballistics then a 308 and a flatter shooter.

I have been wanting to get a tikka

[@conraywest]

Took any animals w it?

[@Stu650Zuk]

7mm-08 has long been considered the perfect deer cartridge, especially with a 140 bullet. Recoil is very similar to a 6.5 Creedmoor. A bit more but not enough to notice between the two. I've hunted with my original 270 Winchester through a older 80's Remington 700 BDL since I was a kid. I worked hard for that rifle on the farm and bought it brand new in the early 80's. 2 years ago I tore my rotator cuff quite badly and had shoulder surgery, and bought a Savage 110 with Accustock and Accutrigger in 7mm-08. Great cartridge and drops deer and larger animals with ease. I use 140's for deer. I would try 175's if I get lucky enough to draw an Elk tag in Pa. To me its the flatter shooting 6.5 with the ability for more power for bigger game with heavier bullets. I believe 7mm-08 was designed as a replacement for the great 7x57 Mauser. My son now uses my good old .270. I dropped a 132" 9 point buck first season out with the 7mm-08 at 175yds one shot behind the shoulder. He just swayed back and forth for a few seconds and fell over dead on the spot.

[@johnapril5163]

Remington model 7 stainless synthetic, 7mm-08, 120 Barnes TTSX at just over 3000 fps equals amazing deer rifle. Lots of people use the 7mm-08 for elk, Craig Boddington's daughter used one to take an eland. I am sure there are better rounds for animals that big but then again I took my eland with a .308 Winchester. Not enough difference between the 7mm-08 and it's parent case to worry about. Bullet placement and a good bullet that stays together and penetrates is way more important then shooting them with the most recent super mag.

[@kitbruttig1995]

I purchased a Weatherby vanguard in 7mm08. I love it! Took a deer at 100-125 yards. It went 20 feet and dropped over dead. Nosler Ballistic tip 120 gr. No meat damage. A pleasure to shoot at the range all day, so there is no excuse not to practice!

[@nicholasbarcomb2324]

Usually if the scope is 1/4" per click at 100 yds which equals 4 clicks per inch, you can multiply that by 4 for 25 yds. So, if you are 2 inches right at 25 yds, that'll equal 32 clicks.

[@eddiewindom1407]

Acquired a 7-08mm (Browning) in '95 with a Nikon scope. "Dead-Nut' at 200 yards and have put down whitetails in across the field shots at well over that. Love the short-action and shorter barrel (used to use 30-30's for brush and .270 for longer fields) and this rifle replaced them both. Very underrated caliber and with 140gr rounds, is a complete all-around caliber that always gets the job done! Oh, and I seemingly can always find rounds in this 'Covid-era' where you can't find the popular rounds nearly as much. I'd like to see some 300+ shots coming from this gun/caliber.

[@larrysayers1377]

Good vid. I agree with Gunsncars advice. You don't use up so much ammo by firing one shot (usually at 25yds) and then holding the gun rock steady and having someone work the scope adjustments to put the cross hairs on the hole you just made but be aware the movements will be in the opposite direction. Meaning if you want to move the cross hairs to the right you need to turn the adjustments left. I live in western Canada and I have shot moose, elk, black bear, whitetail (300lb bucks) and mule deer (300lb bucks) using Hornady Superformance GMX 139gr which print sub 1" groups in my Remington CDL. It also shoots Fed Fusion 140gr ammo the same but other brands vary. It's a very accurate and underrated caliber. My first actual kill with it was a Blue Mountain Grouse at about 40yds that took the head off.

[@gregwalker4236]

i had this problem in the seventies--when you have to adjust the scope so far away from its center, you need bases that are windage adjustable. re-center the reticle and make adjustment in the bases, then when you are close use the scope to adjust and fine tune. sometimes the manufacturer gets the holes wrong on the receiver or you get some crap bases. either way, making the scope do these big corrections is not good and sometimes not even possible. the 7-08 is a slight refinement to the superb 7mm mauser-one of the greatest low recoiling rounds of all time.

[@boomstick4054]

Try this sometime, if you have iron sights and a scope. Get both set at 100 yards. Shoot both at separate targets for the best group..... Everyone who’s ever went to the range with me says they don’t know why I even bother with a scope. I shoot tighter groups with iron sights. Maybe it’s that eye position/parallax thing with a scope? My eyesight is well above 20/20, you know, reading the bottom line on an eye chart. Even the finer print at the bottom. But if you notice you are having issues with scope shooting, remember about consistency of eye position. The parallax issues. And try iron sights, especially the small, fine sights like on a Savage Hog Hunter, Winchester 70, or Remington 700. They will probably need adjusted just like a scope. Maybe try some sight paint. You might surprise yourself, and if only shooting 125 yards or less, you might even ditch the scope. It’s really a confidence thing at that distance. Rifles are just as accurate with iron sights.

7mm-08 is basically an improved modern 7x57Mauser and I've never heard any serious critique of a 7mm Maurer. If one is good so is the other. Similarly 6.5 Creedmoor duplicates 6.5x55 Swedish a round that has serious following. Just that until recently most Americans weren't into metric calibers so not a lot of assimilated info on their performance. Visa versa in Europe aside from NATO calibers Europeans not familiar with American cartridges. It is what it is.

I love a 7mm08 I just bought this same exact rifle not sure what kind of scope I'm going to put on it yet though

[@jamietairawhiti3841]

Cheers for that mate. Keep up the good work 👍love my 7mm-08

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Cheers!

[@russellvonastel7111]

Sighting in is part of the fun

[@ytown4]

The action on that bolt 👍👍

[@chrislang5659]

My favorite is the Rem 700 20" barrel 7mm-08. When dialed at a hundred has a drop of 13" at 300 yrds hope that helps!

[@bigcountry9869]

My favorite deer cartridge.

[@joelodjick230]

From 120 grain Ballistic Tips or TTSX with hardly any recoil at all to 160 grain Accubonds for big game...very sweet shooting caliber.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

👍👍

[@ronthompson2366]

Great little all around caliber. Give a look at the Browning A-bolt. Price wise I believe that you will like it as well. Additionally, Browning is the parent company for Winchester. So give a look at the Winchester rifle as well. How about a little change of pace... a modern muzzle loader... Thompson Center or CVA. Break open, breach plug for 209 primer, close breach and powder and bullet. ... simple and reliable and accurate to 100 yards... There are some competition shooter building them in BENCHREST style. Longer, heavy barrel, hot primer, hot powder load, bullet...... very accurate...

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Everything browning is expensive

[@ronthompson2366]

@@WHOTEEWHO But well worth it in quality. However the A-bolt is the economical model, the X-bolt the higher priced model. Additionally, there is a Winchester equivalent to the A-bolt. But yes, you can pay more. But the quality is very much worth the price. Still be interesting in seeing you cross over to the dark side... and try out your marksmanship rifle skills with a modern muzzle loader.... I think you might enjoy it...keep up the good work.

[@joeyblevins7974]

do one on a Thompson center venture 5r riffling very accurate thanks

[@Alicisandfamily]

That 7mm 08 is a very flat shooting projectile takes a deer right off its can no problem

[@jerrybobteasdale]

I think that's a compromise cartridge that makes sense for deer. The only trouble might be that it's hard to find in stores for plinking at far paper targets.

[@marktroiani5401]

That was very educational and entertaining. Way to go!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching Mark

[@robertbraun4708]

This caliberbis a good all around hunting caliber. Inbetween a 243 & 270 win.

[@f5tornadeau]

2” right at 10 yds is 20” right at 100 yds. If your scope is 1/4 MOA per click, that should be 80 clicks to the left...

[@shitsngiggles8371]

Your wasting your time trying to explain anything to this guy he's ignorant and I don't mean that in a mean way he just doesn't know what he's doing at all

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Mr lego 🤣 see my response to your other ignorant comment

[@boomstick4054]

@@shitsngiggles8371 ....✂️🐂💩

[@boomstick4054]

To speed things up, if it’s that bad off, most scope turrets have 27 clicks per half turn. Just a little faster to figure if you need 1/2 turn, 1 turn, 1.5 turns than to count clicks. And my best high-recoil scope doesn’t have clicks, so it’s good to know how much 1/4 or 1/2 turn moves the bullet.

[@f5tornadeau]

@@boomstick4054 no clicks? I’ve never heard of such a thing. What is it?

[@jays9611]

ive had the same issues sighting in a couple scopes.. seemed like no matter how much we adjusted them they wouldnt walk in.. put the rifle away for a few weeks n when we pulled it back out it walked in just fine..

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Crazy huh

[@huntarama9375]

It used to be quite common for this to happen in all but the most expensive scopes . I got into the habit of giving the turret a couple of light taps or in the bigger calibers fire a couple of rounds after each adjustment. It was quite usual when adjusting a scope to get nothing nothing nothing too much. Things have improved over the last few years , Ive started using Vortex scopes which sight in pretty easy.

[@runningwolf8115]

I was wandering sense you have shoot a lot ruger rifle what is the best way to maintain a new ruger rifle

[@dennisdelk4298]

That was a really fun video to watch. As usual just like you said it would be.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching Dennis!

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

As always I love your videos. This may help you when sighting in your rifles. Sight in dead on at 25 yards. On MOST Scopes 1 Click equals 1/4” at 100 yards, so to move your POI 1” you’d need 4 Clicks at 100 yards. At 25 yards you’d need 16 clicks to move it 1”. Sighting in dead on at 25 yards puts you dead on at about 250 yards and about 2” - 21/2” at 100 yards. Give this a try next time.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

👍👍

[@TheHiground]

Great round.

[@travise8008]

I have the same gun but left handed love it, but the magazine spring is a little weak.

[@oldhunter1000]

In my youth I got the Magnum Bug and hunted with a 7mm Rem Mag. For a while I even hunted with a 375 H&H. As old age snuck up on me a friend loaned me his 7mm/08. I hunted with it for a couple of years. First it was lighter and kicked a hell of a lot less. It was more accurate and everything I hit was just as dead as if I smacked it with that 7MM Mag. In fact there was more game left to eat. Try a 18.5 to 20 barrel and you will have very handy and fast handling South Texas Deer and Hog rifle. I've got many Very Powerful rifles but I like to make it easy on myself. Just one old Farts Opinion!

[@AndrewMartinez1776Redux]

I've been wanting a .280 AI (Ackley Improved) because it's as accurate as a 7mm magnum without the recoil. Plus you can also shoot the .280 remington; which it was derived from

[@umami0247]

Great cartridge and you'll like the performance. Will take all deer species in North America plus a few more critters. What scope are you using is it what came with the gun if so well you can do better and for just a bit more money. Ruger makes good firearms I have several. Rifles pistols I enjoy shooting.

[@richardfinney8617]

Great video great caliber! I have a cva hunter in 7/08 light recoil and flat shooting with the 120 grain ballistic tip by nosler, you should try for the thousand yard shots along side the crudmoor? Thanks Brother 👍
