I wouldn't let $150 or so get in the way of getting a 7-08 carbine. They are great shooters in a great caliber and ones in good condition are increasingly hard to find.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

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!) ^^^This^^^ 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. 😢

I just paid $600 for a 24" barreled 22-250 in great shape and have no buyer's remorse whatsoever.
Buy it. As stated, they don't make them anymore.

I sold one for $900 a year ago, it was as new, Prices seemed to have leveled off on most gun sales during the last 6 to 8 months. At least around here. That being said, I’d have no problem whatsoever paying $600 to $700 for a really clean, or excellent condition 7-08 Carbine, and probably a little more for a really clean 6mm. Last 6mm version I saw was at a small local gun show about a year ago. Dealer had it priced at $1000. He also had a really clean 44 mag version, that I called my buddy who was looking for one, to let him know the price. When I got back around to the Dealer’s table, the 6mm was gone.
