That's great to hear your success with the 7mm-08 caliber. I've wanted one for awhile now and everything I've read made me feel confident about it's capabilities.I have two of my deer rifles, rem LH 700 7mm-08 and a rem 700 LH in .308 and have 2.5x8-36 leupold scopes mounted and they are fine for deer hunting. I shot two prong horns out west, one at 280 yards and one at 310 with the 7mm08 with 120gr nosler bt,s at 3000 fps. both one shot kills.
What length barrel is on your 7mm-08? Ik that my rifle is a different manufacturer but what scope ring height are you using with your 36mm objective scope? Right now I'm pretty sure the scope I'm putting on will have an objective of 32mm or 33mm so I'm hoping your ring height will give me a general idea of what height I'll need. For example if you use medium rings I know that I won't need higher then medium, of course there's other things to consider but I need a starting point.
I've always mounted my own scopes unless the rifle came with one mounted but anytime I needed to buy rings I would go into a shop and tell them what rifle/scope and they would give me rings. Unfortunately the place I normally buy my firearm accessories doesn't supply the rings I'm looking for.
This rifle is going to see a lot of time on the range and in the woods so the optic, rings, etc need to be perfect.
