I bought 2 new (to me) rifles. One is a Ruger M77 mk2 in 30-06 and the other is a Savage model 11 w/accutrigger in 7mm-08. I really like both. However, thanks to you guys I may have found my new favorite rifle cartridge in the 7-08. Light recoil and is a very enjoyable to shoot. I really scored when I found that the rings on the Savage allowed me to mount my 50mm Nikon! Sorry so long. My only question is why the 7-08 isn't more popular and do you think it will ever gain more popularity?
