[QUOTE="Rodbolt, post: 3037420, member: 7787"] Still own almost all rifle calibers and 7mm is maybe my favorite. My experience with 7mm’s is barrel length really matters. Have the magnums but I currently deer hunt with a 280AI or 284W, 25” or longer barrels. If you drop below a 22” the 7-08 will equal the larger cartridges performance, if you load to first shot/cold barrel consistency, which is deer hunting important. 7-08 performs decent at 21”, but not nearly as well as a 308W when both are 18”. Good luck and enjoy your new deer rifle. [/QUOTE]
