They don't make them anymore, so i would pony up and try to get at least one of the 7mm08's.
I have had mine since 1984.
ps:
( my 6mm is the most accurate of my 788's and i own at least one in each caliber!)

Of all the 788’s I’ve owned over the years, the two most accurate were the 7-08 Carbine and the 6mm.
And the 6mm versions are harder to find than the “rare” 30-30 and 44 mag versions, IMO.
I gave my 7-08 Carbine to one of my nephews many years ago, because he had killed all of his deer and hogs at the Ranch with it.
Wish I still had that one. 😢
