Howdy.  I am looking forward to hunting with my new rig.  A Vanguard 2 in compact (short LOP) 7mm 08, with a Leupold VX2 2-8x33.  Mostly whitetail.  Bonz camo.  it handles very well.  Going to see what ammo it prefers and hope it finds one it likes!

I always liked a 7mm-08 for deer. What loads are you going to try?

Welcome to the Nation!!! Give some of the cheap Federal blue box ammo a try when you break it in, usually shoots great out of the Vanguards.

Welcome to the Campfire. My daughter shoots  GH2 in 243 and sure likes it.

We need pictures.   Of the mule.

Welcome to Weatherby Nation, the 7mm08 is a great caliber.

Welcome to the Nation! Is the Bonz S2 your first Weatherby? I would suggest the Hornady American Whitetail ammo.

Welcome to the Nation! Great choice on your 1st of many Weatherby's! LOL

Welcome ladymulerider. Good choice all around. 7mm-08 is an awesome whitetail round and the Vanguard is a good shooting rifle. Leupold scope... Well... Leupold scope, nuff said. Great package.

 Thank you for the welcome!I hunt in Arkansas for the most part. Have hunted Colorado and Montana. My first Weatherby not my first 7 mm 08.

There’s nothing like saddling up at three in the morning and riding to the top of the ridge on a fine mule!

 I have Some Norma 156 grain Oryx, and I also have some 139 grain Hornaday SST’s. I am going to try the blue box and the Hornady white tail too.
