Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 25-06 or 7mm-08? Or??

"Cantankerously big 7 prejudice?"

True. Takes one to know one

Anybody who shoots stuff with a belt at white tails, is like the 50 year old dude with the new Corvette. He is compensating for something.

BobinNH may be a snarkey Yankee but he has fine taste in rifles.

All he needs now is a sticker on the buttstock, a rattle can paint job and toss them in the creek next to a fish and he will be the gun god.

I got the sticker part covered... pure macho death.

Hey, stop that. I'm 72 and on the 6th Vette. Started in my 20's and not compensating for anything. I don't think, then again, na....

And I have been known to use a 7mm-08. Hmmmm....

Unless you're shooting at deer a long ways away, there's really very little difference in any of the 6mm-7mm range options.

Some like a little longer action and a little higher velocity with medium to heavier bullets.

Others like a shorter action and are happy shooting medium to lighter bullets.

Viva la difference!

Bob will never change my mind and I won't ever change his but we can agree to disagree, like gentlemen should - even though I'm right!

As is someone that feels the need to point that out...

At my age, the only thing I am compensating for is the depth of the water in the toilet bowl. I have to be a lot more careful to keep the jewels dry than I did twenty years ago.

Cred is where it's at today boys. All you have to do is read. Shooting not required to be an expert.

LMAO


BloeJob you just keep digging yourself a deeper hole...it's already apparent you don't know much of anything.

There's people posting here who have likely passed more big deer than you've ever seen....smart guys.

Like I said....people with two first names.....Encephalitic morons

You're the one who feels the need to point out over and over that cartridges with more powder will outperform those with less.

But like I said, you're compensating. Keep blasting those puppies with the big schit.

Well played Brad.
Now put on your big boy pants and rattle can that puppy!

Then toss it in the yellowstone river and you too can be a gun god.

That made my morning Bob.

Merry Christmas to a Snarky Yankee from a southern bubba

I really like that!

LMAO.

You're getting boring.

Keep digging.


You never did answer my original question....all you know how to do is hurl insults. Typical Internet [bleep].

Once again....tell me how the 7/08 distinguishes itself from all those other 7mm's or BG cartridges in general when it comes to killing animals,since it occupies that "perfect center" you blather on about?

That easy enough for you to understand? Huh?

I already told you, asshat. It is a great balance of performance, recoil, typical rifle weight and length. The 7mm magnum and the 280 to a lesser extent are overbore. The magnum typically a 24 inch barrel and traditionally has been chambered in rifles that weigh 9 pounds or so all up. The 7mm-08 gets its maximum performance out short action rifles and shorter barrels making a nice easy carrying rig.

Now, you know all that. You just want to pedantically pick a fight over insignificant details and point out that cartridges with bigger cases with more powder will outperform it. Yes, they will in larger and heavier rifles.

The 7-08 is the modern version of the 7x57. And anyone who doesn't think the 7x57 is pure sex is obviously a queer.

Merry Christmas, gentlemen.

Overbore? You are brainwashed, stupid, or both. Tell me about "overbore"?

I don't think the 7x57 is "pure sex"...and I'm not queer.

I think your brain is addled by a lot of bull [bleep] about short actions and light rifles. They may be perfect for you because you have short arms or something but I am not impressed, even after 3-4 Kimber Montanas.

You wouldn't know "overbore" if it slapped you in the face.

Tell me where you chase deer and how many of these 7mm cartridges you've hunted and killed with.

You STILL didn't answer the question. I don't care about your sophomoric notions about short actions, rifle weight, fps per grain of powder expended and all that other rot.Tell me...one more time!.....what the [bleep] cartridge does that a 280, 284, 7x57 etc etc...does not do when it comes to killing animals????

Tell me all about that "perfect center"in how it kills? The other stuff is gut rot and BS but you'd fall for it in a minute.

LMAO you can't read either.... This is your last chance...Im tired of wrestling with an idiot.

Well----

I learned a new word, so all this time was not wasted. Tell me you just threw that out easily, without some cross checking synonyms and I will go driving off to my daily workout. Happily overcompensating, either way.
