And I might add that since I put an Air Tech recoil pad on the M77, it transformed from a really nice shooting rifle, into a Sa'Weeeeet shooter !
I don't own a 7-08 yet 
but do use a few 7x57s that I load to 7-08 levels. I just snagged a super deal on some 150 gr. Nobler Partitions so will see how the rifles like that bullet. I figure if I can get an honest 2700 FPS or more with reasonable accuracy, that'll be the one I take on my Dec 31-New Years Day elk hunt. Great way to start out the new year. :wink: Other bullet I'll be looking at is the 140 gr. TSX but so far accuracy has
not been all that good and I am a bit leery if only a 300 yard plus shot shows up. As usual, I'll take the .35 Whelen as a back up gun. 8)
