Team 7……mm-08
You can have the rest, we’ll not my Mod 70 CLASSIC stainless 243, but I digress.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

I do not own a 7mm-08 but I’ll still choose Team 2, .260 was my go to gun when I hunted deer.

Winchester cartridges in Winchester rifles..
Preferably with Featherweight barrel and old style trigger.

IMNSHO, if you've got a rifle chambered to any of these cartridges you can confidently use it on about anything you want. And I have ammo loaded for the .243, the .260, and the .308 that I'd use anywhere in America on criiters from coyotes to elk.
Because I shoot more coyotes than deer, I gravitate to the .24, .25 .26 calibers to carry while hunting. Because I've had a lifelong fascination with the cartridge, I own more rifles in .308 than in all other cartridges combined. My first custom build was a .308.
The 7-08?
I love the concept. Owned one briefly when they came out in the Rem 788 (1980?). And I wanted a Model 70 classic compact in 7-08 til I tried one.
This cartridge just never showed up for me in the right rifle at the right time.
Still...
Give me one rifle (the right rifle) in any of these and I'll hunt til the end of my days.

We can work together. I'll take the 7-08 and 308.

Team one for only one reason. There is enough gap between them to actually matter. There isn't enough difference between a .260 and 7-08 to matter much in the field. The choice seems redundant. Big difference between .243 and .308.. If team 2 was 22-250 Rem and 7mm-08 Rem I'd probably go that route.
Todd Team One ..... Same reasons.
