During my cartridge cull a couple of years ago, I got rid of all my .30 cals. Last to go was my long-time go-to hunting rifle; a Model 7 in .308. I promptly replaced it with another Model 7 in 7mm-08. The .308 had an 18.5-inch barrel, the 7mm a 20-inch; I put both in HS Precision stocks. Had I known then what I know now, I'd have started with the 7mm-08.

The 7mm-08 that replaced it (it doesn't normally wear the bipod; just there to hold it up for the picture)
