I was hoping for the 7mm-08 Remington After waiting it out I settled for 6.5 Creedmoor, which may be for the better, we'll see. Rock On! Last edited by Savorino; 07/30/20.

Answer is nothing. In fact the 308 Win based lever gun has a larger window of use with 1-10 twist barrel shooting 120-200 grain loads. Of which ammo is everywhere. You’ll never see a 1-8 twist barrel on a 7-08 magazine fed factory made lever gun. A 308 Win with 178 eld-x is a great performer near and far on big game. It’s been done thousands of times on every continent.

Was hoping to hear what others want as well as putting out some energy for a 7mm-08. Like the idea of a 257 bob and 250Savage, 358 338fed too. Sold the Henry 6.5 without shooting it because it wasn't a 7mm-08. BLR's are nice, but after watching 150 of my co-workers loose their jobs I just can't see owning anything not built in the US and sold my 7mm-08 BLR (my opinion for myself only) Picked up an 88 in 308 so guess I'm good that way.
