I have been thinking of purchasing a very lightweight rifle for elk hunting. It will probably be a short action. Between the .308 and 7mm-08, which would you choose and why?
....................Either will work fine. Some prefer the 7mm and some would prefer the 308. This can be debated, splitting the hairs and picked apart until we all go to our graves.
The 7/08 is a little flatter shooting, while the 308 offers a more versatile bullet weight selection from 110gr to 220 gr.
I`d say, pick the rifle you happen to like the best and live with whichever of the two cartridges comes with it.
