RE: Difference between 7mm and 7mm-08
On a similar note, some people focus on the cartridge a lot. Like if someone asks "what is a good deer rifle?" They will get a loyt of answers like .270 or 30/06 or .243, which are not rifles but are the cartridges fired from rifles.
A good deer rifle will of course partly depend on what kind of hunting you do and in what type of cover and at what ranges.
A bolt action Rem. model 700 in 7mm mag. with a 3to 9 scope is a great deer rifle for long range open country mule deer hunting.
A win. 94 lever action 30/30 with open sites is probably a better deer rifle if you are still hunting in thick swamps where shots will come fast and furious at 50 yard white-tails.
