RE: 6mm remington , or 7mm-08 remington
 

i've got a 6mm rem and i love it. It's a good deer rifle. I'd never give mine up. Go with the 6mm rem. 7mm08's are great guns but 6mm rem's are hard to find and a joy to shoot. Once u shoot it i bet u put you're 243 away in the cabinent for good and find yourself grabbing the 6mm over it. ;)

Uh oh, that kinda talk will definitely bring zrex out of nowhere :D

RE: 6mm remington , or 7mm-08 remington
 

well the 6mm has the same bullet as the .243 and the 7mm-o8 has the same casing as the .243. hard choice. id go with the 6mm though cause i dont really like the -08's much cause they are week and slow.

RE: 6mm remington , or 7mm-08 remington
 

Definately the 7mm-08!

Get them both. EJ

Thats the best idea but if you dont have all the $at once you have to decide which to buy first sooo....

I guess Id go with the 7mm-08. I have a 6mm and dont shoot it very often, its in an older 788 Rem which I dont like very much so that may be the problem either way itll be good.

RE: 6mm remington , or 7mm-08 remington
 

7mm-08 all the way.

RE: 6mm remington , or 7mm-08 remington
 

Chuckling at the 08 being slow and weak :D:D EJ...that IS the proper attitude...lol when in doubt...buy both. If I were buying to hunt I would get the 08.....if its s collectible sometimes shooter than i would get the 6mm. Or do the best thing and buy both as EJ said.

thanks for the replies guys , so far , i'm really leaning towards the 6mm remington . however , i noticed a winchester model94 bigbore in .375 win. and includes 3 boxes of factory ammunition , for sale in the paper that just might change my whole purchase plan , it's 450 dollars though but , from what i've heard , that's what they'll be fetching now until somebody buys the factory and gets the name licensing and starts making them again. :D:D:D:D

RE: 6mm remington , or 7mm-08 remington
 

7mm-08 if you are going to hunt with factory loads, 6mm if it is for a collection or if you reload.
