October 10, 200818 yr That'd be a terrific choice in my opinion. I hope his 7mm08 shoots as well as my youngun's does. Good luck to both of them!!!!!!!!!!:thumb: Have you guys ever tried any of the short mag loads? A friend of mine bought a .270 WSM a couple of years ago, very nice load.
October 10, 200818 yr Have you guys ever tried any of the short mag loads? A friend of mine bought a .270 WSM a couple of years ago, very nice load. I have a Tikka T3 in .300WSM. Weighs only 6.5 lbs and it's rough on the backend, but very nice shooter. The Sims pad helped somewhat.
October 11, 200818 yr Just got news from my dad, brother-in-law, and the midget. He whacked a doe and it is currently in the freezer!

October 12, 200818 yr Don't want to get this thread off track, but thought I'd throw this in. Got the midget a youth model Remington 700 for Christmas in 7mm08. Put a Leupold VX1 3X9 on it and I am here to tell you, I took that thing to the range last Friday to sight it in and that thing absolutely drives nails. I sighted it in at 1" high at 100yds and put the target out at 200 and I put 3 holes in the shoot-n-see target that you can cover with a dime dead in the bull. So, I tried some different factory ammo,,,,,,same deal. I settled on 140 grain Fusions and that little joker is a better shooter than my .270 that I built (and that's with handloads). All I can say is if you're looking for a sweet shooter for your youngun, that one is a dandy!!!:ylsuper: Sounds great! There is a reason that the 700 is the base for many sniper/long range rifles.
October 12, 200818 yr My daughter shot an 8-pointer. I'll try to get a pic on here. :thumb: Congratulations!!! :dancingpa:dancingpa Also congrats to you 20Rock for being involved with your children and teaching them about the great sport of hunting.

October 12, 200818 yr My daughter shot an 8-pointer. I'll try to get a pic on here. Awesome to hear. Congrats to her, and be sure and post that pic if you can. I'd rather see a kid with a trophy doe than a grown up with a big buck. :banana:
October 12, 200818 yr Our tradition continued, my son and I went out to Pendleton County. We saw a beautiful sunrise, the fog lifting from the valley and lots of small game. But no deer. Last night in our front yard there were six. LOL I treasure these moments with my son. Happy Hunting.

Nothing compares to valuable time spent with your children doing something that you both enjoy. Enjoy the moment, it goes by way to fast. Congrats to you for being a dad who cares!!!!:thumb::thumb:
