Yes you are slightly afraid that the/08 will do everything you ask .Just might cause a landslide sell off of the fancy rifles.Light,short barreled and easy to shoot..sounds convincing
Most of me does realize the 7mm-08 will do everything I ask it too. I'm not sure why I always have this want to make things faster, louder, harder to control, and effectively... less comfortable (whether that's guns, cars, or motorcycles).
I have $0 invested into this rifle. I'm going to seriously just try to shoot it for a while and then form an opinion. I may like it just as it is.
I've been playing with the numbers like Mudrunner suggested. It's helped convince me to leave it a 7mm-08 for a while.
