[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2068908, member: 116486"] Nice group, I’m not a hater but I formed the opinion when I was younger that 7mm-08 would be a great all rounder for Australia. It does not share the popularity or availability the .308 does. I wanted something like a Remington Model 7 Years later I bought a Tikka CTR on clearance as being a 7mm-08 they are not great sellers. Bargain and I am now a big believer in the cartridge. It’s a great little truck rifle and good shooter over the bench. I believe it does have an edge over 6.5cm and .308 with the right loads and fair comparison for hunting, I might not a convert nor a hater of the 6.5cm, I do use the terms Man Bun or Latte and Trend in the same sentence to get a bite or stir the lovers. I do believe it’s does shine in its own arena and that’s long range target work. The 7mm-08 should deliver more energy on the target species as a hunting round. I’m loving the support for the 7mm-08 [/QUOTE]
