If you want a really dead on accurate pleasant to shoot but lethal enough for nearly anything the 7-08 is the ticket. I have shotquite a bitin my years but I shot the 7-08 immediately better than anything I ever picked up. Its a joy to shoot and hunt with. You want accuracy and just a fun gun to shoot it fills the bill well. I had been deer hunting for the last 10 years with a 270 and had been thoroughly pleased with it. I bought this one and decided to take it out first day this year to see how it done....well to make a long story short...5 deer later the 270never left the caseleft the case


This is of course just my opinion and we all know how those are As Roskoe said...give it a try and if you dont like it there shouldnt be much problem at all selling it.
