I own a lot of rifles, almost all the calibers mentioned on here and then some, I find myself going back to my 7-08 when I want to go have a blast shooting a gun. Great shooters.

Im not crazy about the 25-06. I shot 2 deer with it last year. First was a doe, shot her at about 100 yds, right in the sweet spot. She mule kicked and took off. Not one speck of blood, found her over 100 yrds away. There was a .25 hole in and out, no expansion, so maybe it was the bullets fault. Second deer was a little buck at about 200. When I shot him he dropped like he'd been struck by lightning. I dont want a gun that doesnt kill consistently.

I'd get the 7-08. Ive killed many deer, hog, and varmits with that caliber, real light kicking too.

If you want everything you shoot to fall dead on the spot you better start breaking their neck or blowing their brains out. How far a deer travels after a shot depends alot on the deer. I've seen deer go 20 yards heart shot with a .22 hornet and others go 75 yards heart shot with a 7mm mag. Some deer just don't realize it when the're dead.lol

Your thoughts and info is really great. I personally don't have a lot of time behind different rifles just because of being in the city and all, but my son is all about things that go boom so this will be great stuff for him! Keep it coming:tu:

I've never seen the locally in Tyler Texas. I have seen them u the big box stores.

Just read all the info on the 7-08 from Wiki and it is very impressive.

I love my .308. My ex shot it all the time with no problem. I also like the variance of loads you can find for the caliber. There's a load for varmints all the way to large game for it!
