[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 419738, member: 2736"] Lot's of good advice and I would add another cartrige if ammo wasn't a problem. The 7-08 is a great cartrige and easy to load, Lot's of bullets to chose from and capable of outstanding accuracy at great distance. So with all things being easy to buy the 7-08 would be my first choice. There are a lot of rounds that will produce more velocity but most are in long actions and need a longer barrel to achieve there potential. I have a 7-08, 7-08x40, 7 WSM, (All on short actions) 7 Rem Mag, 7 STW, & a 7 Rem Ultra Mag and they all have a place in my safe forever. I have killed more animals with the 7-08 than any other rifle in my safe and it has never let me down. I select the rifle to hunt with based on Size,toughness,terrain to be hunted and distance (I carry the rifle best suited for the game and conditions) and most cases the 7-08 will be my first choice. Most of my personal rifles are heavy barrels#5s+ but the 7-08 has a 20" barrel and with the short action it is a very handy and accurate rifle. Just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
