That should get you into a Vortex PST with a simple duplex reticle.

7mm is an excellent long range rifle.

That recommended scope is a great scope.

OldCosmo

I'll have to look into that.

For Bullets look into Barnes TSX. as for the grain you need to get boxes

Agree with this!

readybreak

I think I have your exact gun, but chambered in 300 RUM.

readybreak

That's it but in the 7mm.
