The stores stock whatever is hot, especially as hunter numbers (and hence gun sales) decline so don't use that as your standard. I had a couple 7-08s, I can't warm up to the 28s, but keep one 280 that shoots very well and is a model rifle I really like, otherwise it would be gone also. Don't see any creedmoor in my future. The 7-08 isn't going anywhere after all this time, not sure I would say the same about the creedmoor.
