I haveone of those short stubby 7wsm that a lot of people don,t think much of and it was brought out just to sell guns.
The Rem 700 24" Hart barreled light hunter 6.7lbsI got last year, shoots amazing groups check photo last three shot group with 4831 & 140gr BT Noslers, under .125 "
And if you go to this site
www.6mmbr.com and go to Gun of the week link
Ric Horst's 7wsm 5 shots at 1000 yds under 5" pretty awsome
The .308 for me was the first short mag and your 7mm08 is a good one two.
And the short stubby ones seem to shoot the best of all cartridges.
Look what the 6.5,284 another short stubby one does at 1000ydsand don't forget what the 6ppc does to the .222& 22.250 on the range they just can't beat the short stubby ones.
