Don't need a new rifle but I want one. Which would you get or are they pretty close to the same?

Thomas magnum is high on his 7-08. I don't know much about them, TBH.
I think my next rifle will be a 270 WSM. I recently joined the tikka club, but won't buy another one. The thing shoots great, I am just not crazy about several of the features that it brings.

I would personally get 7mm-08, but it is pretty much a toss-up. If you want anything from deer to black bear, both will get the job done. If this is just a plinking rifle, .308 may be a better choice due to ammo variety.

Have a 7mm-08. Love it. If you shoot in the brush get a 7mag. If its long shots 7mm-08 is great.

270 is the best deer round ever made.

308

7mm-08 is a 308 case necked down to 7mm. 7mm bullets have about the best ballistic coef. You will find much more ammunition variety with the 308 because of it being around for so long and military/paramilitary use.
7mm-08 is a better round because it is the same case with a better BC bullet.
