The wife’s rifle is ready!

[HandgunHunter]

factory model 7 with HS stock, Holland scope, and some minor trigger work.

7-08 ammo that she loaded herself....her first time reloading.

And she made first round hits to 500 yards on 6” steel.

She has a pocket full of tags to fill

model 7> a must have rifle. Congrats

 

[Ben Lamb]

She's a keeper!

The wife probably is too, but I don't want to be presumptuous.

 

[N2TRKYS]

Model Seven rifles have been great shooters for me. Congrats.

 

[wytex]

Good luck to her !
Curious on the bullets chosen , I like bonded for all my hunting . Did she go with a solid cooper or something else ? I'm guessing you like the higher BC bullets but I could be wrong.

 

[HandgunHunter]

In the small 7mm rounds I run the 120 nosler ballistic tip....there are several thousand in the loading room.

I pick bullets by their lethality that I actually witness in the field.

BC isn’t that important to me....I’m use to shooting pumpkin balls out of handguns at critters.

 

[std7mag]

Does she have a sister?

The gun, not your wife.
I already have one of those.

7mm-08 with 120NBTs are a very lethal combo! Varget?

 

[HandgunHunter]

Yup. Varget

That's outstanding, Chris. My wife loves to shoot pistols with me, but I doubt she'd ever kill anything. Maybe a nasty old hog. Enjoy your time afield with her.

 

[Big Bore]

7-08 is a helluva round too. I use to have a 15" Encore in that caliber. Lethal has heck.

 

[6mm Remington]

That's excellent and sounds like she's a pretty darn good shot too!

She has taken her last few speed goats with a pistol.

6 creed xp100 at 400 yards.

Nice shooting!

Bc, you or your wife have any field experience killing bigger than deer size game with the NBT in the 7mm-08?
Thanks

Yes....it works just fine....just don’t try and drill the shoulders.
