I got my son a 7mm-08 Remington and a Redfield 2-7 Widefield scope. He killed a few deer with it and then went into the Marine Corps. After his discharge, I bought him a fancy 30-06, but he always takes that 7mm-08. I have a TC barrel in 7mm-08 and use it for deer as well. He has killed 2 elk with his.
