..............................I am with you. Love da shorty carbines too. Gots one.........What is the barrel length? The 7/08 is one of the best shorty barreled rounds that you can get.
I agree about ONE of the best carbines.
I had a 77 UL in 308 with 20” bll and it gave up NOTHING to 22” ers.
I’m not particularly a 308 fan but in 20” it does very well.
