7mm-08?

[Mustangs Rule]

Seems like the 6.5's and the 280 AI have overshadowed this fine round. I have not heard much about the 7mm-08 of late. Any good words for America's best non-magnun 7mm, IMO.

I dont have anything negative to say about it. One of @Big Fin favorite rounds and my uncle and BIL love it. Personally I have a 6.5 CM and a .308 win so I dont really have a need for one. Great round for a new shooter/ hunter.

I have two in model seven’s, probably as good of a deer round as exists. I wouldn’t hesitate on elk either with the right bullet…. I just got in some of the new Lehigh bullets that I’m looking forward to trying this year. Still undecided but one may make the trip to CO this in a few months

Harvested a deer and a javelina this past season using my Rem 700 in 7mm-08. Fantastic round.

Shouldn't have any problems.

I’ve shot moose, mountain goat, bears, and everything down to coyotes. Overlooked for sure, yet extremely capable. I think I have six of them.

Just finished an NRL match last week using a standard Howa 7mm08. It performed very well. If Mrs. Fin and I draw Wyoming pronghorn, I’ll use that same rifle.

Using a 7mm08 Super Lite on a NWT backpack hunt in August. It’s more capable than I am.
