7-08 has been my favorite round for deer, and everything else, for nearly 40 years. A Kimber Montana, so chambered, has become my go-to rifle, thanks to Ted (Poconojack).
I do switch things up and enjoy my dad's and gramp's five diamond 760s, or my 70 Featherweights, 77RLs and Savage 99s. Other favorite deer chambers for these guns include 35 Rem, 300 and 250 Sav, 260 Rem and 257 Roberts. I have a Montana in 7/08. It's cerakoted black. It's a joy to carry, and hunt with, pretty much my go to deer rifle.

Don't have one...I use to think bigger is better... what a joke that turned out to be...
Deer I shot with a 300 Win mag, were no deader than ones I shot with a 243 or a 22.250
Last couple deer I've taken were shot with a 6.5 Grendal....those were bang flops also...
all handloaded of course....don't use factory ammo except in Rimfires...

Pretty fancy shooting iron! That vernier sight is cool, with my eyes, it would be like looking through a screen door.

Thats a very nice rifle Shrapnel. I also wish my eyes would enable me to shoot something like that. I have a Winchester 1892 in 25-20 that begs to go hunting but I can't shoot it well enough to take it.
