7mm-08?

Love that versatile round. It has put antelope, deer, and moose in my freezer!

It's a fantastic round. Has a lot of fans here on HT. My savage in 7mm-08 has taken a pile of animals (hogs, WT deer, mule deer, cow and bull elk). With the right bullet it's more than capable. We've taken animals from 67 yds to 430 yds with it.

Both of my kids shoot 7mm-08. They started at 12 with the reduced recoil rounds, but we are switching now to a little stronger bullet. They have taken a handful of whitetail, axis deer, mule deer, and pronghorn.

7-08 is what I recommend to 95% of new hunters. It works and won’t recoil hard. It also saves me time not cracking creedmore jokes at them.

I have a lot of rifles but haven’t owned a 7-08 yet. My love of the 280ai is strong.
