    Hi all, new member here.

    Nelson based, getting my two daughters in to the sport and they are loving it.

    currently looking to buy a 7mm08, I figure a good calibre for deer to cut their teeth on. let me know if you have one for sale

    Welcome to the Forum.
    I like my 708. Softer shooting for the kids when they are ready.

    Welcome to Nelson, don't rule out something like a .223, 22-250 or even .243.

    welcome @stead
    there's a great buy & sell section here but you need to spend some time on here and contribute before you get access to it.
    I've got a 7mm-08 but have found that there's a limited selection of factory ammo for it, not an issue if you reload though.
