I'm going to be buying my first deer rifle (currently use shotgun and flintlock). I have an opportunity at a very good condition inexpensive 7mm-08. Initially I was thinking of 308 or 30-06 which I'm comfortable would cleanly take the game I'm considering.
The areas I hunt in PA also have black bear which I'm not planning on hunting now but may in the future. I also hunt in SC where they have boar in addition to dear, coyote etc. I'm looking for opinions on what the biggest game you would feel comfortable taking with a 7mm-08.
