I've took the 708 plunge after about 25 years of shooting a 270. Been loving the change. Got 3, an older micro medallion, just picked up a bergara ridge in it, but mainly I've been using my ss/syn model 7.
Man, you sound like a convert, getting away from that terrible, "gay" round, having now seen the light....
Ha!. We won't talk about the many critters have been killed by the old .270, 'cause it's no longer "cool"....
But, you'll enjoy the 7-08; I sure like mine. But, I only have one... It's special, built by Bobby Hart with a Hart barrel. I put it in a Hunter's Edge, use BG powder. I like the 140 Sierra HPBT for it's accuracy and how well it kills WT's. My second fav is the 120 NBT. May get around to trying Hammer bullets, just haven't gone there, yet.
