Tom, I am pleased you have found satisfaction with your 7mm-08 but as to your comments at the end of your post, to each his own. I find it odd that you would come on to a forum called Longrangehunting and be critical of the main paradigm of this site. Perhaps this site is not for you. I like...

"Enter Me In The Huskemaw Scope Contest"

I have a Kimber 84M Montana in .338 Fed. I like it for brushy mtn hunting and it only weighs 5.1 lbs (that's w/o a scope). I did put a Leupold 2.5x8 VX-3 on it though, which brought the weight up another pound.

"Enter Me In The Berger Bullets Contest"

This cartridge sounds great, I can't believe this is the first I've heard about it, what the hell have I been doing?

No, but wish I did. Just don't know anybody that has access to an area to hunt them here in my part of Oregon. We also have some fairly complicated regs here too, a class actually has to be taken to hunt geese around here. I'm not sure of the issue with the complex regs because with the large...

"Enter Me In Greybull Precision Hunting Stock Contest"

I'd go with the .338 Federal. Here's why: yes they 7mm-08 and the .338 F have about the same powder capacity but guess what? The .338 burns more of it's powder in the barrel. Think of it this way, longer barrels burn more powder right, is it a function of length or volume of the tube? I say...
