Im the only guy in my deer lease out of 11 members and guests I ever saw use a 7mm08. The rest are 270 or 3006 guys. Some of the younger guys are using magnums , you know just in case “that 600 yard shot comes along “ my primary is a 270 but if the same set up was in 7mm08 I would use that. My 7mm08 rifle is just my second favorite set up so it comes along as my back up. One of these years I will probably sell it and get a light weight 7mm08.
I think it is popular in some circles but the average deer hunter I find knows little or never heard of one. I learned about the 7mm08 on the fire.
I thought dang just thats just what I been looking for. So I bought one in a Montana Rifle Company X2 a few years back. Just bit heavy and the stock a bit fat for my taste but a great rifle just the same.
