I'm an average shot. I enjoy going to the range. Once a week when the weather is agreeable. I would count out the 7mm-08 but honestly. I love the fact that it has such low recoil.Really the only thing keeping me from getting it is the price of ammunition and the lack of readily available ammunition.Still, I'm not going on an elk hunt or bear hunt or big fat arse elephant hunt. It's just for your average West Georgia Deer. Shaaaaa I guess to be completly honest. I should just hang it up and get the 7mm-08 because that's what I want. I just keep talking myself out of it with what if's. Well IF I get to win the lottery and go on a bear hunt or some thing else I'll just either buy another rifle
or borrow a friends and save the $$.
That's strange, I don't work for Gander Mountain but the last time I was there it was plentiful and only about $1.50 more then the 30-06. Check online at Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas it's only about $2.00 more. That's not going to stop me from getting a 7mm-08 for my next rifle.
