I would say 7mm and 8mm Mauser suffer more in the USA from the clunky weapons - I know a lot of you like Milsurp stuff but I'm not one of em - besides the 7mm was in the 93 Mauser, IIRC, not even the latest 98 model.
The rounds themselves are as fine an example of balance between caliber, efficiency, and hard hitting performance as you can make before rather rapidly hitting the scale of diminishing returns. They do everything a cartridge can be made to do except look impressive in your hand sitting next to a newer "magnum" cartridge.
The 8mm in German loadings actually has more pizazz than the best loadings of the 30/06 are capable of. It's just the .323 bullet has never caught on in the USA so the reloading cannot really easily duplicate the Euro ammo stats. JMTC
If you would get a Euro hunting rifle in 7mm or 8mm, you would have as fine a weapon as ever existed, imho, however, they are usually pricey.
