Well... buying another gun is always a good thing! My son turns 12 this year and can hunt out here. We will be chasing Mulies/Elk. I'm shooting for a 7mm-08, but I'm curious everyone's thought on the caliber?

I'm a huge .284 fan from a ballistics standpoint. I will be hand loading loads for him. Right now, I'm think 7mm-08 or a .308.

Again, curious about everyone's thoughts on the "08" and any suggestions on brands? I'm a huge Browning fan, but thinking of not spending that much $$$ on this one.
