Got my 2 big game rifles set up

[bgoode]

I finally got my 24" 30-06 back from bedding and swapped scopes around. I don't think the vortex viper will live long term on the 06 due to the reticle seems to be thin enough to fade away at last light. I really like the VX2 2-7x33 on my 7-08 20" Compact!! Really fits that rifle perfect. Next is checking for level good enough for what I can do with what I have, bore sight and hit the range when I can. Thought I'd share my 2 big game set ups.

That's a good looking set up you have there. I like the 30-06 in the camo scheme. I have a VX-R 2-7x33 that I plan on using on my next hog hunt in April.
If you dont mind me asking, who makes the 06 you have, again it's a looker?

It is the Winchester M70 Ultra Shadow and I tossed the cheapo stock and replaced it with McMillan stock. Much nicer set up!!!

[JustAnotherGunGuy]

Yea, I'm diggin that stock.
The 06 is like my Mosin, hell on my shoulder after two shoulder surgeries so I make do with a .308.
Got a hog hunt planned and I'm looking for decent bolt-action. If I can't get my hands on something I like I will just slay them with the M&P10 topped wi the VX-R but a lighter set might be nice.

My 7-08 is nice on recoil but lacks factory bullet options like 308.

I've been shooting a 7mm08 for a long time now and really like either the Hornady SST or the Federal Trophy Copper loads. Both are very accurate out of my Win M70 Extreme Weather.

Nice 2 gun setup by the way.

Since this post I sent back the McMillan stock to shorten the length of pull to 13" it just feels like I'm leaning into the gun too much and I don't have that issue with my 7/08 that has that length of pull.

Nice Winchesters! I've been thinking of either a .243 or 7-08 for my daughter. She currently has the FC in .308, I make reduced loads for her. She's not going to get a bigger than she is, so I think long term the lighter caliber will allow off the shelf option. even though there are factory reduced loads in .308.

I run the Trophy Coppers and found them to work well. 180's in the 06 and 150 in .308, so sounds like the 7-08 runs well also.

Nice set of rifles. I have that 2-7 Leupold on my Venture Predator in .308. Absolutely love the combo. Heck of a piece of glass for the price.
