I own both and like both, but I seem to have a greater attachment to the 7-08.


6.5CM: Lighter recoil, finer inherent accuracy, less down-range drift with less recoil, more and better factory ammo, and rifles properly twisted out of the box.

I was in my second year of college when the 7-08 appeared, so I should be a candidate for it. I tried, I'm not. I prefer the 6.5 CM.
