[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 162445, member: 8843"] The two guns your have chosen are a good choice but I would also throw in the new Savage heavy barreled guns , I've seen them shoot better right out of the box than the Remingtons. As for the rounds , well if you reload the 7mm-08 would be my choice as their are some great LR high BC bullets for the 7mm's but if your shooting factory ammo , I'd choose the 308 as their are alot of great factory loads out their. as for as balistics the 7-08 might have a slight advantage but I think it woulden't ammount to enough to bother worrying about. A third option would be to build a gun on a better caliber , I know right now you can get a Stevens action (Savage) in a Duramax stock which is a pretty decient stock for $300 then get a prefit barrel in 260 rem for another $300 and you'll have a gun that balisticaly will spanmk both the 7-08 and 308 out to how ever far you can shoot and will likely be more accurate than any out of the box rifle.
