RE: .308 VS 7MM rem. mag
I don't believe that one is better than the other. They are both effective on deer so I believe that it all comes down to personal preference. It is more about shot placement that the cal. you use. With whatever cal. and gun you buy just make sure it shoulders well for you then lots of practise. I prefer bolt action but then again that's what I'm used to. If you know your abilities as well as your rifle's abilities then for the most part you will only be pulling the trigger once.
