[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1260240, member: 4566"] Gonna have to go Creed on this one. I really considered the 08 for my AR-10 build but it's just a little under capacity for a LR rig. Also you said lightweight. A 130 at 2900 will be more fun in a lightweight than a 160 class in the 7-08 especially when you hand it down to your son. Killing wise I think its nearly a dead heat. The Creed will run a higher BC faster than the 7-08 can, with less recoil and a higher SD which will yield better penetration. Also the Creed brass is becoming very easy to find and will be forever at this point. The new Lapua stuff with the small primer will put it in a different class than the 08 for many uses. Either one will be a great rig, if elk is on the menu go 7mm. If not run a Creed. [/QUOTE]
