Went into Marks this afternoon to purchase a box of Barnes 130gr TTSX for the Tikka Compact I picked up for my girlfriend.
They were out of stock on the ammo but I did find a Remington Model 7 in 7MM08 that left with me. laugh First Remington product I have ever purchased.
The rifle is in great shape, only downside is that it has the Jlock mechanism.

You can by a bolt shroud from Brownells to get rid of the J lock

I've got one that has the j-lock. I initially thought I would hate it and change it, but it's never been an issue. I don't plan on ever changing it out.

I took a quick look(not methodical) on Brownells and didn't find that replacement part. I will likely be the same if I know myself well enough.

Think I've found the perfect scope. https://www.leupold.com/scopes/compact-scopes/vx-3i-2-5-8x36mm

It might have been an impulse,but you could have made a lot worse decision than that...

Do they come with that rail?

No. Some previous owner installed it. It's an EGW 0MOA

Apparently, I misspoke. While everyone and their brother makes one for a 700, no one - that I can find - makes one for a Model Seven. If I remember correctly, The Seven part is slightly shorter than the 700...

Midwest Gun Works has a factory replacement Mash 'Righ Here

If you start experiencing buyers remorse for the impulse purchase, let me know. I know how to cure that and will be happy to see if I can help!! grin

You may be right Doc I thought at one time that PTJ offered a non J-lock bolt shroud and a firing pin assembly for a 7. A quick look shows that they no longer offer a non-Jlock assembly but the shroud itself doesn’t specify. Here’s the link I’d give em a call and check.

Now I'm shopping triggers. Sitting in the hotel dry firing this thing disappointed in the trigger. Going to guess it's 6lbs+ based off my super accurate finger gauge.

That’s a good looking rifle. 7-08 is a great round.

Thank you. Thinking this rifle will get fed a diet of either 120gr Fusion or 120gr TTSX.

If I'm not mistaken that Model Seven 7-08 is gonna have a 1:9 twist rate which will really like the heavier bullets. My all time favorite 7-08 factory round is 140gr Nosler Partition. Nice rifle by the way!

Off subject but nosler partition is one of the best hunting bullet there are imo

That gun has the old Walker style trigger. It is very adjustable.

You’re going to enjoy that gun. I owned one for 15 minutes season before last. Shot one deer with it and it crushed it. Federal Fusion 140s if memory serves.
