[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1846978, member: 112413"] Now that I've finished scoping both my guns equal and got the accubond's shooting great in both, it comes down to weather. 260 is all weather ready even hard rain (syn/stainless with rainguard scope), 7mm-08 is more for good weather. I really can't see any difference in bullet performance between the two, both 20" barrel short actions, that handle and carry good in the thick stuff. Both kill the heavy whitetail with authority. Just finishing my first long range deer rifle, up here it's for large open bog's and swales or power line right of way's thru heavy wooded areas. It's 12# and varmint barreled with a 4-16 scope, its a 7mm-08 :) My boy's young and strong and carry's a heavy barreled tactical savage I built a while back, he loves his gun and caliber (308) and I can't argue with his string of one shot kills.
