Since one of my rifles is a 7mm-08 in a Browning A-bolt with a 22 inch barrel I'll say, "yeah I think he made a fair choice in that article."

I love the 7mm-08 caliber. To me it is just about the perfect caliber for whitetails where I hunt. Mild enough in recoil for even the wife and kids to enjoy shooting yet with a 140 grain bullet it shoots flatter than a 308 with a 150 grain bullet and as flat as a 30-06 with a 150 grain bullet. With a good 140 grain bullet it will shoot completely through even the biggest of whitetails and kill them just as rapidly as any other caliber I own. I've used it as one of my primary whitetail calibers for 3 years now and can find no flaws with it.
