Agreed. Not a gun you want to just go shoot at the range all day. Not to me at least. I had the stainless/stalker ABolt, so it was fairly light which added to the ("perceived") recoil.

Badass.

Any man that says this is overkill and kicks too much I believe is packing a vagina, for fricks sake!

I built this little setup for my son when he turned 1. Cooper Firearms Custom, Model 54, 7mm-08, with a Kahles scope.

My current gun setup is near perfect for me: Ruger GSR in 308 win with forward mounted Nikon handgun 2 x 8 scope. Cross hairs zero at 100, circle below it at 200, next one at 300 when sighted with Barnes 165 grain TSX reloads.

Own one - bought it last summer. It's all I've hunted with this fall. I love it. 3 shots, 3 kills.

where did this come from and how does the 7mm-08 compare?

Completely depends on where I am hunting but for sure one would be a 25-06 Ackley. Other one would be a 7mm STW or 7RUM. If you can get 300 RUM in 150-165 grain bullets maybe that. Both built on Mauser/Rem 700 action.

I don't know yet. I'm not that familiar with the caliber enough to know specific ballistics. I got that caliber because my boy will outgrow a .243 fast. I wanted a round that he could shoot for a few years. 7mm-08 is a hot little round and is pretty flat shooting, but a short distance round from what I have collected.

That bullet is so fast it's scary. I will definitely be switching to 180 grain next time i sight in my rifle.

Not the first individual to comment how gracefully she rolled up for me. Not to completely hijack the thread but it truly is a fine caliber.

I have one as well and love it but for all around deer I'd take a .308 instead.

Not following you... please elaborate. I realize this is not a truly "like" comparison, but in commonly available cartridges the .257 has a higher velocity and more energy.
Caveat: I am not a ballistics expert and also am a proud owner of a .308

I bought this one this week. I mostly hunt the Mississippi public land. A lot of walking and a lot if hills. I wanted something on the lighter side.
