Much as I love my 280's, if I was limited to hunting in TX, I'd be happy with the 7-08, maybe even if I wasn't just limited to TX, too................maybe. As I said, I love my 280's.
I have both, & to 400 yards using the same bullets, & on animals smaller that elk, you will never see a difference as there really is none that matters.
There's really nothing not to like about the 7-08 at all, IMO.
