Bought a Cooper 7-08 several yrs ago and don’t think I’ve hunted with another rifle since. Fun to shoot and 140gr Berger TSX are deadly on deer. My 5 and 8yr old kids shoot a Browning Abolt 7-08 with Hornady 120gr SST managed recoil. They’re 8-8 on deer this year and furthest deer ran 40 yds but I haven’t been happy with bullet performance and will switch them next year to 140gr Barnes or Berger. Easy to find online.
Previous to the 7-08 I had a Sako 308. It was a nice gun and performed well on deer, but I didn’t like the 20” barrel.
