To follow up, I chose the 7-08 over the .243 based on many conversations and articles comparing the two. After my research I came to the conclusion that the 7-08 was a little more forgiving if the shot placement was not perfect. When considering a caliber for a new, young hunter, that was the information that tipped the scale in favor of the 7-08. I also bought a Browning 7-08 last year for Janet. Unfortunately, she didn't get to dent a primer on a deer with it but hopefully that will change this season.
