Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 7-08 20” barrel vs 280 Rem 22” barrel

If that's what you want, then don't even question. Velocity loss between the two, the 7-08 with the 20" tube is giving up 200-300 fps on the 280, especially when you get to the 160's

I love both but with the style and places I hunt, my 20" 7mm-08 is what I consider near ideal
