The 7-08 is the absolute perfect cartridge for deer. ......
In the wake of easily duplicated ballistics from many other offerings, these statements of perfection above all others, are amusing and not to be taken seriously. The 7/08 is nothing more than a picket in a fence of cartridge performance. That's all.
Nevertheless, it is dead solid perfect in the middle of that picket fence regardless of what any snarky Yankee might say about it.
You considered that snarky?
What a joke.
Anyway, I like the 7mm-08 more than a little, but somehow get by with a bunch of different choices. All used in the same covers. .223AI, .22-250, 7mm-08, .280AI, .300Sav, .338Fed, .30-06, .300WM.
And could have made others work just as well.
The perfect Deer rifle is akin to the perfect women. Or man if you happen to be a huntress.
Wait, you said absolute perfect. Is it absolute with 120's, 140's, 150's, 175's?
Am I being snarky?
