308 would be my choice due to more choices in bullet weights and of course performance Yup

Either one in a Model Seven is a match made in heaven.

308/7mm08: That's like wondering if you should shovel your neighbor's dog turd off your lawn with a round or flat shovel.
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

Either one. They are almost exactly the same. .308 does have some more load offerings but they are essentially the same for most applications.
Hunting brings out the worst in people.

I own several 7-08. But would recommend 308 solely on ammo availability.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Im looking to move my son up from the 350L to a bolt gun in the near future, something he can use through his teenage years. Sounds like the 7mm-08 maybe the way to go, suppressed it should have much recoil at all. The new ruger american gen 2 looks like it may be a good fit with the adjustable LOP, he is currently shooting about 11" LOP on his AR. Im hoping ruger comes out with some different finished for it from what i saw online.

Look at the 6.5 grendel ballistics. Low recoil. Plenty of range. They are available in AR platforms, bolt action and single shot
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

I own several 7-08. But would recommend 308 solely on ammo availability. Same here, can't go wrong with either.....the .308 ammo is readily available most to the time, where as you have to do some searching to find 7mm-08 ammo, depending on the brand and gr you are shooting....
