[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1516471, member: 31264"] I don't think there is a deer out there that will ever know the difference between a 6.5 CM and a 7-08. They are both more or less equally lethal at more or less the same ranges. I don't see any point splitting hairs over it. You will see a much bigger difference just be changing bullets than you will by changing cartridges. Same goes for recoil. HOWEVER, there is one difference that you need to be aware of before you buy. The two normally come with quite different twist rates. A slow twist will limit your maximum bullet weight. As another poster said, choose your bullet first, and then choose a rifle with a barrel that works with that bullet. Then enjoy shooting whichever rifle your wife thinks is second best...... LMAO. Better yet, get her a Cooper. Happy wife, happy life! [/QUOTE]
