OK to save me some time I picked up an extra rifle for a buddy to hunt with when he come in, plus i wanted something for the kiddo to start with that is smaller than what I have now, Ok to the time saving, I now have a rem 770 in 7-08, I have done tons of reading but nothing about this rifle and ammo selection, I dont want to spend a ton of money on 5 diff brands to find out what works, plus range time is limited right now. So any guide on a good combo to start with, I know someone has this set up and spent some time with it. Thx now.

Years ago, when they first introduced the 770, I bought one for my daughter to hunt with. It shot extremely well with Remington Core-Lokt 140's. I have since sold it, and moved her up to a much better quality rifle. I still shoot that load out of my Browning A-Bolt 7mm-08. It's accurate, and kills deer very, very dead.

2nd on Remington Core-Loc. Wife shot a buck at 170 yards today. Decent rifle for the money.

Are you looking for reload info or factory as two above are suggesting?

just factory for now may get into relaoding this one later, if i like it, this is not my main shooter, more less a loaner
