I went to one of the local sportsmans stores yesturday to do some lookin and now feel a little more confused unfortunately! It was super fun trying on various rifles for size though and I really love that Burris scope that everyone seems to mention.
My confusion is this...when checking out the inventory on ammo, it seems that the variety on the 7mm08 is pretty limiting (or at least it was at the store I was at). They had 140 and 150 grain in a few brands and that was it. Would that be too much for antelope and deer? But with the 270 there were lots and lots of options as far as different brands and grains. I was checking out the actual bullets and the 7mm08 is quite a bit shorter, but does that necessarily mean the recoil will be that much less? I know it does when comparing the 357 and 38specials for a handgun!
Oh, and I checked out that G2 and think it's pretty cool that it's so light and has the interchanging barrels and everything, but does it only come in 45/70, 30/30 and 45? I can't even imagine how it would feel shooting 45/70 rounds out of a gun that light!
Thanks again for all the help!
