RE: 7MM-08 or 308 ??
Fl .... I am sure that the 308 is a great cartridge but I have owned a Rem. model 7 in a 7mm08 for years and loved it. I have taken deer from 100lbs to 350lbs ... I doubt you could go wrong with either but I like the 08 ... I shoot a 139 grain NBT ...

I agree.. The 7mm-08 in the model 7 (I have one)... Is a great flat shooting gun that will flatten a whitetail where it stands.. I shoot winchester XP2 139 grain ballistic tip silvertips and they perform excellent.

I own both 7mm-08 & .308 and they are both great guns, but given the choice of only one of them, I would take the .308. Either way I don't think you'll go wrong, flipping a coin may be the only answer here.

The .308 Winchester is my personal favorite, and I'd recomend it to anyone! The 7MM-08 could arguably be the best whitetail caliber period! It's flat shooting, low recoil, and plenty of power to spare on deer!
Flip a coin, you can't go wrong with either!
