7mm-08 model 700 with a youth stock /thread

Leagues better than the .243 in every single possible way. Don't get a .243

very good info and the 700 is a great platform but don't count out the Savage or Tikka, or any other bolt action with a youth stock, the vast majority of rifles shoot better than the hunters that use them

I am not sating that the 7mm-08 700 is not better but I bought a Remington .243 youth model with a scope for a about 350. It has been a very nice rifle and has since been passed down to my daughter. Very little recoil and will drop them in their tracks.

I killed the hell out of some deer with a .243 when I was a kid. Could drive nails with that rifle.

Wish I was that accurate today.
