    you couldnt go wrong with either choice really. The 308 is my choice and have had good success with it over the years.
    Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.

    My next gun will be a 7mm-08. Was going to get a .308 but changed my mind. Why? I don't know. Just cause its the in caliber I guess. Quite similar.

    308 makes a bigger hole and is therefore superior to a piddly 7mm.

    I own neither, now

    have had two 308's and one 7mm08 I have to admit I quite like the 7mm08 does everything a 308 does but with a flatter trajectory.
