I have what is for me about the perfect whitetail deer rifle in my Model 7 stainless in 7-08. Short, relatively light but not overly so, low recoil and plenty of options for bullet weights and designs. For antelope to mule deer, its hard to pick a better round. I could care less what happens to the commercial availability as long as components are available bit I do think the Creed has taken some sales from the 7-08.
