[QUOTE="sodakota, post: 2224627, member: 81002"] There're pretty much two peas in a pod. One will pretty much do whatever the can do. Assuming you're a reloader... Properly loaded a 7mm-08 should be good for elk or moose, I think -- I'm not sure what your son is hunting. But if you have a 308 and want a lighter recoil the easiest is to use 130 grain TSX or TTSX (I'd choose the TTSX unless your 308 likes the TSX better. I had a Ruger 77 in 7mm RM and I thought it kicked too much as it slapped me in the face when I pulled the trigger. I replaced the stock and now it is pleasant to shoot -- so maybe that is the issue with your 308, that is the stock doesn't fit your son and that well make it feel like too much recoil. [/QUOTE]
