Very similar setup to yours. Very nice to use but a bit heavy now.
I have a smaller rifle with a VX3 4.5-14 CDS in mRad on it, so I like the scope although it does compromise on some aspects.
Used the 7mm 08 on a tahr block recently and succeeded with my longest shots ever (wont say what - don't want to encourage others beyond their self-established distances).
It's also very good on the short shots and beautiful to carry in the bush without its suppressor.
