Do you know the reason you post half the stuff you do all over? Love to hear your "assessment" of this one but I will not hold my breath....

It doesn't really matter, hell half of Texas shoots nothing bigger than a .22-250 at everything, including both my brothers who will shoot your eye all out at night off a windy predator rack waaay out there....

Of the 2, I prefer a 7-08 but I also gun a .280 Ackley. There is no wrong answer here unless you are a factory ammo guy, then go 7-08. The 7-08 is just a .280 about 100 yards closer....

I think the 7-08 is the perfect marriage of recoil, available bullets, and killability going. I've got 3 of them and I could post dead stuff my wife and I have piled up with one for days....
