Dadgummit Rev. I have to buy a 7mm-08 first it would appear. Can you float me loan for week 'er two? Aw man, I was going to ask you!

Well, this thread is dying and the 7mm-08 seems to have won by a pretty good margin over the 7x57/7mm Mauser/257 Rigby. One of my favorites, the Bob was left behind with the 6.5x55.  So my quest for a rifle in 7-08 begins. If anyone has more suggestions in platform, post 'em up! I will post a pic of the rifle in 7-08 when it is ready to hunt. I just love the Fire.

Pick the rifle that really pulls your rope and then worry about the chambering. If that rifle is available in 7-08, you've scratched two itches for the price of one, kinda like marrying a world-class chef that really knows how to, .........well you know.

7-08 is just like the 308, except it shoots lighter bullets slower.
