Thread: Noob...

Dave, not much in the purchase and feeding of 7mm08 and 308. Either will serve you well.

Ballistically 7mm08 is superior, although at typical deer zapping ranges, I don't think you'd notice one way or other.

If you wanted to shoot stuff at a considerable distance, that might change.

As to which brand, read the reviews on the Howa 1500. I bought one and like it, although I found it kicked.

I bought a suppressor for it, and found instantly that it had a very agreeable personality change.
