Daughters new rifle

[D-Rock425]

She turns 15 this September and has been shooting the same compact Thompson center venture chambered in 7mm08 since she passed hunters ed at 8 years old.  She shoots my Browning hells canyon in 270wsm really well but wanted to stay with the 7mm08.  So after about an 8 month search I finally found a new Browning xbolt speed in 7mm08.  We'll be topping it with a new zeiss conquest v4.

Nice. Maybe you should break it in on your goat hunt!

Sweet!

That will be a great rifle.  Son and wife both have shot 7mm 08 for years.  Son has graduated to a 300 wsm and 338 lapua so his 7mm 08 is now turned into a deer / yote gun.  I worked a load with 101 grain hammer hunter that is super accurate.  I wouldn't hesitate to take a bear with it either. 

The 7mm 08 is super versatile and will handle a wide range of bullet weights.  Your daughter will have that rifle for years.

Now get an assortment of earplugs and muffs for the young lady so she always has backups.  My son's ruger compact 7mm-08 short barreled with brake is the loudest gun I've ever shot.  Great rifle !

and then ditch the radial brake so you get real recoil reduction and less dirt flying everywhere to go with the noise

I second that.  Getting rid of the radial ported brake would happen asap, I know the Savage LRH came with them and I hated it.  Cant shoot a radial port brake over a Magneto Speed either.

Adopt me. I can be very childlike. She's a lucky girl.
