DeadorAlive I've hunted with a .308 and have considered that also. And if I did change at the last at minute it would be to a .308.

Also thought about trying a different style round guess I may need to get some 140's for the 7-08.

Sonny which rectical do you have on you're scope is it that 4k, and what color cross did you go with?

Do y'all think the recoil will be that much more significant than the 7-08? I can shoot the gun I have now one handed, while the front end rest on a trigger stick, and my front hand holding the stick handle.

I really appreciate all the input here, thanks to all.
