Never shot the 7mm-08, but I love my dad' s 25-06.

Shot 4 deer with it last year, one a 160# field-dressed buck that was dropped in it' s tracks with a shoulder shot at 255 paces.

Later that day, my 6 year old nephew shot his first deer with it, a doe.

Great, flat shooting caliber with very little kick, even for a 6 year old.
