I am giving myself an early Christmas present and buying a new barrel for my Blaser R-93. I currently have 300 WSM and 375 H&H and am looking for something a little better suited to 100-160 lb Whitetail deer. I am leaning towards 7mm-08 or 308, and I am also considering having the barrel cut down to 19 or 20" to make it a little more compact. I have done a little reading on here and other places on the net about both caliber, but I am looking for personal experience with either, but preferrably both.
