JPH;
I've got two 7mm-08's but none of them in a Handi.
Been using the Rem. Model 7FS since 1989. Its brought down a lot of deer over the years. I've only used the 120 gr bullets. They seem to work best for the deer we have in the southeast. And man do they drop quick. You do your part by putting the bullet in the boiler room, and you wont be tracking them very far or maybe none at all. They go down that quick.
The other rifle I aquired, was this year, is a Ruger Compact SS Mod. 77 MKII with a 16-1/4" barrel. Although I did not need the rifle, my father came over right before deer season to get his rifle, the Ruger. Well I told him to try my Marlin 1894 in 41mag. He said he had been wanting that rifle since I bought it last year. He did not like a scope and a bolt action for the area he was hunting. He wanted my lever action. He said would I trade it to him even. It had a Sightron 2.5X8X42mm scope on it I had bought him for his birthday last year.
Well, that Marlin was my favorite rifle. But since he is my dad I traded with him.
Both rifles shoot MOA using IMR-4064 powder. :grin:
Soooo..... yea, go with the 7mm-08. :wink:
