Subject: Scope for Browning BLR in 7mm-08

It's generally about 1.5" at the max at 100yds. Usually less, and different loads yield different results. I've generally neglected working up loads for it because my 9.3x62 CZ Mannlicher somehow is a tackdriver, but the BLR is not off the paper by any means. I just make sure that I shoot it after I assemble it before hunting - probably more out of OCD than anything else. The most important factor I've seen from any BLR is cold barrel shot. The thin barrels change a LOT as they heat up. That's not a factor limited to the takedown version. They're all thin and react more than a standard bolt rifle to heat - that's why finding a good load is so important.
