[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1294126, member: 2736"] You can't go wrong with a 7/08, especially if it is for your children or wife. It has plenty of power and velocity for deer size game to 600 or 700 yards and very mild recoil. I shoot everything from a 17 HMR to a 50 BMG and the 7/08 is my favorite rifle for deer hunting because of it's size and performance on game. The only thing that I know of that will best it in this size case is the 7/08x40. The 260 Rem improved (40o shoulder would be a close second in my opinion. And with a good muzzle brake Recoil can be lowered to 5 ft/lbs (about the same as a 223 rem). There will always be faster more powerful cartridges but this little cartridge just performs better than it should for some reason. (Some say it is just the right amount of power for deer and doesn't over stress the bullet). Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
