708, my 10yo has been shooting a model 7 for the last two years, graduated from a ruger compact in 260. I also shoot a 708.
I shot a 6.5 with 120bts in a kimber hunter and it would stomp you, my model 7 708 synthetic is much sweeter shooting with 120s. Both have similar recoil pads. I was really surprised by the recoil of the 6.5. The guy that bought it was shooting a 708, he is now back shooting his old 708.
