I'm just making the point that any gun can have deer walk off when the hunter makes a poor shot.

This thread's not going to go well for you. The only thing on the OB that get's more love than the 7-08 is a Tikka rifle. If you tell us the 7-08 you missed with/made a bad shot with is a Tikka, you're really gonna be in trouble. ,

Weak, very little knock down power, 7mm Mag is ashamed of its little bitch arse cousin.


I own both guns and haven't lost a deer with either.

Sorry you can't shoot.

My 9yo son and 7yo daughter both shot deer with 7mm08 this year. Both 100+ and both dropped where they stood.

If you lost a whitetail with a 7mm08 you need some range time.

Wow, I can not believe how badly some of y'all have missed this entire thread. The OP did not loose a deer that he shot with a 7mm 08, HE was shot with a 7mm08, one year ago today, through the neck, he was very lucky to live, he is joking about it not having any knock down power,

I guess my comment was not for MOST of the responses but for these:

Possibly you suck at shooting?

miss completely or cant find em

7mm-08 very similar to .308 ballistics , superior to a 7x57 Mauser that African hunter killed 1000 elephants with but somehow it's not big enough for a white tail?

It's not the gun it's the shooter :)

sorry you missed or had a shitty shot. 7-08 is a great cartridge



ten-fo?

Calling the .280 the GOAT is a dead nut giveaway that you spend way too much time reading gun magazines.

Not a gun nut, never read magazines. I've owned and hunted with .243, .257 Roberts, .270, .280, .300 Win Mag, .300 WSM, .308, 30-30, and 7mm-08. Killed critters with all of them. Most effective long or short range, good shot placement or bad placement has been the .280. It's just a good round that produces results.
