I was told that the 7mm-08 was a knecked-down .308....still its a nice Rifle to have.I bought a Savage 7mm-08 111 GCNS Bolt-Action with the Accu-trigger and the recoil wasn't as bad as my 30-06 but still a little noticeable.I was considering getting the "Managed Recoil" shells from Remington and letting my Daughters use the 7mm-08 during their Youth Deer Hunts but the Managed Recoil shells were on back order for over 2 months so I ended up sighting the Rifle in with regular 140 grain shells.


I think a Regular .270 Rifle would have even less felt recoil than the 7mm-08?I've talked with several of my Hunting Friends and they really like their .270 Rifles and the shells are easy to get and have a lot more choice to pick from.
