[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 338574, member: 2736"] +1 I am a big fan of both but for all round hunting the 7/08 will be better . The 223 is great for varments coyotes and smaller but the 7/08 will work for big game as well and at longer ranges the .284 bullets will buck wind much better and drop them in there tracks no mater what you run across. Where I hunt we have bobcats.coyotes,turkeys, deer and hogs and I use a 7/08 for everything and with there accuracy a 200+yard head shot on turkeys is possible. And if a hog comes running buy and a head shot is not possible the 7/08 will dump them. I have tried the 223 and been caught with not enough rifle especially on hogs because once the first shot is fired the rodeo starts and follow up shots are never as good as you would like. There are a lot of more powerful calibers available but you wanted minimum recoil and the 7/08 in a 7 or 8 pound rifle is almost a non event. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
