TSK has a 308 mate. not sure what you will acheive by firing them? Felt recoil will be almost identical. You would be better off to go and try some on at the shop (fit,feel,price etc) then decide on a calibre.
Either way you will have a sweet calibre for armed tramping and if deer are seen they will meet the same fate with either cal with a well placed shot. :D

Sweet as. Your 99% the way there. What in particular are you hoping to know or feel after firing the 2 cal's? Just curious as to what may convince you either way?
If Phillip comes he has a 7 08 so you may have both there not that I think it matters imho

to be honest i dont know haha i just cant decide what 1 i want so was kind of hoping it would help me choose

While the two are essentially the same 308 is cooler if that helps:D

haha i was waiting for someone to say that

If I had that decision to make "I" would go for 308 too. Based on diametre = bigger hole :)
As your scope choice indicates it is obvious you dont expect to shoot past 3-400M so there is no extreame difference in either cal at that range.

Mate this can go on forever and ever only you can decide so if firing the two helps then cool.
I have said my bit on this hope you sort it out and get your rifle sorted before spring is out :)
