Bought a 7-08 when they first were released.....they'll pry it from my cold dead hands. Has ALWAYS shot winchester silver tip 140's into a ragged hole and for my intended use of it thats all I need. Traded a birds head Vaquero for a 30-06 when I heard they were being discontinued and that was the only thing available from the distributor. Some day it'll be a 280AI.
