    both cals are awaome hard to separate the 2 in IMO if you are shooting factory ammo go the 7mm-08 a bit easier to get
    +1 on the marlin xs7 bloody great rifle for $799 ($899 for stainless) my 223 shoots as good as my other rifles that are worth twice as much if not more....

    Both my howa/weatherbys are now bedded in boyds stocks, and man can they shoot!
    Did you end up pillar and glass bedding, or just glass bedding? Whatd it do to the complete weight of the rifle (adding the boyds stock)?

    Yep. My old tikka 7mm08 booted way harder than both my .308w and .270 lol.
