    New rifle calibre options: 6.5x55 vs 7/08

    I went hunting last weekend with a mate who had the cookie cutter T3 7/08.
    Despite myself I picked it up - what a nice easy pointing rifle.
    I though to myself I 'need' another rifle thats light and clean and good for all round deer hunting (if you can call what I do hunting!).
    I've got a tuned 270wsm for longer range I want something for everything else closer.
    I don't reload I get 7mmsaum to do all that for me.
    Thoughts on the above calibre options? I've always quite liked the 6.5x55?
    Was just cruising on tardme and saw the 6.5 gunworks rifle in T3, suppressed - any opinions?
    Cheers
