7mm-08 or .308 continued... For R-25
I am looking at buying the R-25 by remington. it is offered in .243, 7mm-08, and .308. I hunt deer and hogs. For those who dont know what the r 25 is i is an ar-15 platform rifle. I would like to know what round you would suggest in that rifle.

.308 unless you reload.
The ability to rap off plenty of rounds would get more expensive with the 7mm-08 and factory loads.
With the .308 you could sight in with hunting loads and then buy some cheaper FMj's to go plinking with.
