Steve,you might want to try the managed recoil loads first or just use lighter bullets.Not sure what you mean by- "7-08 recomended round".The 7-08 is a different caliber based on the .243 case.

RE: 7MM-08 VS 7MM REMINGTON MAG
Hello hunter,
I love my Rem. mod. 700BDL in 7mm Rem Mag.!
It does have a muzzle break on it and a sims limbsaver recoil pad.
It is topped by a Leupold VariX3 3.5x10x50.
I did even get it glass bed.
Before the bedding, I was at 1 1/4" at 100yds.
It does kick, but at about 1 grand invested, can you complain?
Why settle for a caliber a little bit less or a little bit more?
I did whack a deer in Montana about 100yds. out. It did run about the same 100 yds quartering towards me to expire. A little hole on entry side and both lungs and the heart hanging out the other side!
I can't really complain.
I should have stayed single if I wanted to hunt more.

A good 140 gr bullet fired from 7mm08 will kill any whitetail ever to walk the earth within 400 yards in the right hands,and with a considerable amount less recoil compared with 30-06 or .300 win mag. The 7mm rem mag is pretty close to the 30-06 you already have so it wouldn't make much sense to duplicate it.

Ive had several magnums over the years and a couple years back I was looking for something just for deer and Antelope. On some good advice I picked up a Weatherby Vanguard in 7-08. I couldn't be happier I have a couple other Vanguards so I knew it would be accutateand it was. I have shot 3 Whitetails 1 Large 5x4 Mulie and a nice Antelope. Nothing went more then a couple steps and 1 deer and the antelope fell right in the tracks he was standing in. I use the 140 Nosler ballistic tips in federal premium. An added bonus is the recoil is minimal. After shooting about everything out there, I'm over proving how macho I am. Don't get me wrong the 7-08 would be too light for Elk sized game, but if you already have that covered. Treat yourself to the 7-08 you won't be disappointed. Just my 2cents Gil

I guess I have better things to do in life than necropost. But hey, lots of folks do it...
