7mm-08 is way more pricey to buy than 308.
Are you talking about brass and factory ammo, I hope so, because rifles chambered in either cost the same, brass is more expensive but when you can reload them at least 5 times, what the hell's the difference? Also, you can always just buy and neck down 308 brass if cost is really a huge concern. As far as factory ammo goes, there's about a seven dollar per box difference, but I wouldn't let that stop me from getting a rifle in a caliber I want. So, I'd say for the guy who doesn't reload or want to learn, get a 308, anyone else, get the 7MM-08 if it makes 'ya happy.
