[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 848327, member: 39801"] I am a 7-08 fan for the animals and ranges you list, especially on a light short-action. There is a but: With possibly the exception of elk. I don't live in elk country, but am planning a trip out next fall - if I take a 7 it will be 280AI. I think the 7-08 is optimized for 140gr pills, and for elk I want 160gr minimum. Not enough "oomph" out of heavier bullets in 7-08 for my tastes. That is only my opinion... [/QUOTE]
