My new 7600 7mm-08 (Pics)
Here are a few pics of my new Rem 7600 7mm-08.
I put a Burris 3-9x40 w/Ballistic Plex reticle on as that's the same scope I've got on my Rem Mtn LSS. The rings are Leupold Quick Release. I've got a 6.5-20X50 scope that I use for range work and with the Lupey QRW rings I can switch the range scope to eigher the 7600 or my Rem Mtn LSS as needed.
Today I'm working up some 154 Hdy RN loads to try out in the 7600 and hope to get to the range this afternoon. I'm just looking for minute of Whitetail accuracy at this point as I plan to hunt the last two days of Missouri rifle doe only season next weekend.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this rifle will shoot as well as my Mtn LSS

Thanks guys!!
I think she's a looker too....but hopefully I'll find out this afternoon if she's "all show and no go". Don't have time to find a load she really likes but I should at least get an indicator of if she's got potential or not. The 154 Hdy RN's shoot sub MOA in my Mtn LSS. Working against the clock to get some loaded up....hope I'll have time to get out there this afternoon. If so, I'll post a range report.

I have a 30-06 Carbine pump. I have had it for almost 30 years. You have a fine rifle there sir. They will shoot well, but I believe they are a little more finicky than a bolt rifle. I have had more accuracy over the years with faster powder, and larger bullets. The pump is a popular rifle here in WV. We all have one. Just one question, it is hard to tell by the pictures, but is that scope a little high? Tom.

Someof it is the angle of the picture, but yes,the scopeis just a tad high. I've got Leupold quick relase rings on there as I wanted theoption to be able to remove the scope and use the iron sights. As you can see in the 3rd pic, the iron sights sit kind of high so I set the scope up just a little higher than I normally would so I would not be able to see the iron sights through the scope.
Even though it looks a bit high, when I bring the gun to shoulder, I've got a good cheek weld an a perfect sight picture with them set that way.
