You shouldn't mind fat buzzards, you can shoot them in the tail feathers

if there are a lot of fat buzzards because of the 7mm-08 then there must be a lot of people that cant shoot either I dont think their is a whitetail deer made that wont die to the 7mm-08

my 6mm has wounded many a deer to death but I admit....sometimes it took all three rings of steel to do it.

Hey Swampman...Even 12 year old girls can kill whitetail with a 7mm-08. Take a look for yourself. She wasnt shooting Corelokts either so we found the deer.


Im willing to bet my little sister would whoop you and your 30-06 with her 7mm-08 or even her .223!!!

I thought that too.

I now use a .270 or a .30-06.

What do you care??
You leave 90% of the deer behind for the rest of the critters.

It's better than losing the entire deer like you girls do. Maybe when you grow up you can get a deer rifle like dad's.

Gosh, I'm glad no one told me a 7/08 just wounds animals.

Just thinking of not being able to cleanly kill the 70 or so critters I've shot with mine makes me ill.

I'm glad I know better now. Thanks Swampy.

Should I sell the 7MM08 stainless Model 7, since it only wounds deer?

That buck's gotta be at least 74 years old.

No,

We should destroy them, so no other animals suffer this fate.

Swampy can think up some stuff...

Swampy,
I hate to pile on as so many do here but your off your med's if you think there is any difference between the 270,30-06,7mm-08 for killing deer in the lower 48

Never shot anything with a 7-08 can't see there is that much difference though between it and the 7x57 I do use on occ.. I like the 6mm Rem on antelope as well as the 243W, lotta 1 shot kills with those 2 units.. A buddy of mine sure has made a pile of 1 shot kills with his old 788 in 6mm, yeah a hell of alot more than he got with his 7-08's. Must of been because he secretly knew it was a week sister outfit and was extra careful on his bullet placement, I suppose...cause he never heard of swampy. Magnum Man
