Did they have the barnes vortex loaded with tsx? Not in 7-08. All they had for the 7-08 was the Winchester silver box, Hornaday SST and I think they a Remington ballistic tip of some sort.

My 7-08 likes remington core lokt 140gr and fusions way under 1". Once I finish with the ammo I have, i will look for 120gr TSX. I would not recommend the 139 SST because is is a varmit round, look for the Hornady GMX instead 95% copper 5% zinc.

If you don't mind, what 7mm-08's are you guys going to throw all these bullets down the range with? I am a tad behind you all in the process, I think I have settled on the caliber, but I am still picking the weapon.

From the reviews I have read it does, plus they have software on their website. You put in the scope, Caliber, Ammo Manufacturer and type and it will display ranges across all magnification levels. They also have an Iphone App for it, which you can also dial in elevation, wind, barametric pressue, yadda yadda yadda. The ballistics site is www.nikonhunting.com/spoton/Why would I go to a Camera Shop in New York to buy scopes at discounted prices when I can buy them here in Texas at the same discounts. SWFA is a Texas company. Heck that yankee camera shop don't even carry nikon scopes.

If they don't there is a reason  Why would u not buy from a good guy, pay no tax on high end glass and shipped to me free? Huh? By the way I wouldn't own anything Nikon sitting on any of my rifles or my daughters rifle!

I'm not a real big believer in anything with a ballistic tip. What are the pros and cons in your opinion on the bullet?

They are not a ballistic bullet, they are a tipped solid copper bullet, they will not pop and expand as soon as it hits, you will not recover one they will complete pass thru and hold together and leave a serious wound channel but will not leave the giant hole of the ballistic tip bullets that should be shot at varmints in my opinion, I know that alot of animals have been taken with ballastic tips, but they are a rapidly expanding bullet and not what I want on a deer or larger game.

Has anybody tried one of the Marlin xs7 rifles yet? Yes I have one, for the money it is the best rifle out there! What exactly do you want to know? Accurate, yes sub moa. Trigger, great if you like the safety blade (I do). The black stock is cheesy but aren't they all; camo, wood or get a Boyds replacement (I chose the forest camo laminate and it looks sweet). If you want to read more about them go to the "Marlins Owners forum". I also have a XL .270 and I like it more than the 7-08.
