The 7mm-08 is much like the 7x57, only a little shorter and a little faster, so what's not to like?

EDIT: The Hornady American Whitetail and Winchester/Olin Deer Season XP both shoot good groups in my Marlin XS7.

EDIT2: If there is a down-side to the 7mm-08 when compared to the 308 it is that factory ammo isn't as common in rural areas, at least those rural areas that I frequent, and it is usually a little more expensive. Both "problems" can be avoided through proper prior planning.
