Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles opinion of 7mm-08 rem. vs 308

We can cuss and discuss this subject from now on but the bottom line is the .308 is a more powerful cartridge than the 7-08, thats the way it works just like the 300s are more powerful than the 308s...

The question that should concern you is do you need the extra power of the .308, certainly not for deer, but I would prefer it for elk..Is the recoil a factor with you, if so then the 7-08 is a better choice.

I personally would opt for the extra power of the .308, but thats my personal option, as I believe the .308 to be one of the best designed cartridges out there today..
