While a 7-08 does not get the glitz and glamour a 6.5 CM does, it’s not dying. Just look at YouTube and there are plenty of videos with 7-08 being compared to other calibers like the .308 Win and 6.5 CM. I think it may actually be making a small, though very small comeback. I was without one for 16 years after selling my first one off. The wife bought me a new one last Christmas and it filled a hole in my soul that was lacking since I let my first one go. I’ve probably heard more people that are buying or at least showing interest in the 7-08 than I can remember.
I may see if Nugget will take me out behind the Borough dump and put me on a whitetail with it. My only concern is that he will not let me take it and make me go to the scrap metal pile and pull off a piece of copper tubing from an old discarded refrigerator to use as the weapon. Hell, he used rebar to kill his.
