[QUOTE="UplandFreak, post: 1869870, member: 111854"] I went through this with my son a few years ago. Had it narrowed down to the 7mm08 and the 6.5 cm. I went creedmoor. Way more factory options in CM than 7mm08. Plus match grade ammo that shoots lights out so I didnt have to worry about reloading for it if I didnt want to. Seriously the diameter difference between .284 and .264 is negligible. No animal on this earth will be able to tell the difference. Same weight class bullet the sd and bc will be higher for the 6.5 and will compensate for the slightly higher velocity of the 7mm08 at some point. My boy is 13 now and practices with me out to 1250 yards. We hunt elk at 9k-11k ft. I would let him shoot elk out to 800 yards with his creedmoor and have confidence it will get the job done. My buddy was researching at the same time for his kids and went with the 7mm08. He doesnt shoot much past 500 yds. The CM shine out past 500 when compared to the 708. Neither of us have any regrets.
