The 7-08 is an outstanding deer cartridge, if that is what you have in mind.
Maybe this thought experiment will help clarify if 26" is a good choice of barrel length: If a little more muzzle velocity is needed, which is better to do, carry a 26" 7-08 through the woods, or carry a 22" 270 through the woods? Both alternatives will give you very close to the same results.
