Is this the Ultimate Deer Rifle? 

I hope you get more popular on RU-vid, you're awesome

Awesome video! I'm looking at that exact rifle & caliber set up with my fav Leupold scope! Thanks!!!

great video man ... keep up the good work!

Love the Browning rifles. I ended up with a A-bolt 2 Target/Varmint in 308. At the time it was the only rifle Browning produced that was threaded in the standard 5/8-24 to accept a suppressor. Get a suppressor for hunting out of a shooting house - especially for hunting with kids or other hunters in the same house. It is a game changer.

I won a Browning AB3 in 7mm-08 last year. I was very apprehensive about the cartridge mostly because I wasn’t educated enough about it. Well it sure didn’t disappoint, I dropped 4 whitetail in their tracks last year and can’t wait for this year. Recoil isn’t even worth talking about.

it looked like a spine shot to me, but i am almost 40 years old and the 2nd rifle I bought was a rem seven in 7mm-08 and it has taken well over 100 deer 3 antelope 5 mule deer 20 plains animals in Africa and 4 elk and 2 black bear and countless hogs. it works

I have this in a 300WM and I absolutely love it! You are right, lots of power no recoil...

I have the Browning XBolt Max Long Range in a 300WM. Had a very successful hunt this year. I use a NightForce SHV 5x20x56 scope and hand load with 77grns of Retumbo powder and Hornady's ELD-M 208grn bul-let. Dropped "Curly Bill" at 435 yrds and he dropped where he stood. I also used a SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressor. It helps on the ears and recoil. Caught the whole kill shot with "Phone Skope". Their was 3 other goats off to the right of Curly Bill (Antelope) when he dropped they went back to eating. I love my setup and save on ammo. :) A good solid prayer before the hunt one can't go wrong.

Awesome review ! Keep it up. 7mm-08 is a good round for middle agers like me with "hamburger" shoulders from working constructions or the trades. Low Recoil and effective Kill Ranges what more could an ol guy like me hope for? Plus the recoil is low enough you can do some target shooting for fun !!

Gonna be really honest, I've been on the fence about the 7mm-08 for about a year now and you've sold me. Beginning of March I'm going to order a Sako 85 Bavarian in 7mm-08. I feel the Sako is a comparable rifle to the Browning with a more traditional styling. Thank you for your awesome content and great advice.

What was the twist on that Browning? Would like to shoot the newer , higher B C bullets in the .284 cal. Thanks good show

I just got a browning 7mm mag a bolt for my 13th birthday yesterday

I think it's a really great round I own one myself in a browning white gold medallion and it's a tac driver

I like the 7mm-08 ,along with 25-06 ,very underestimated and overlooked calibers.

💯 on muzzle brake, I been trying to make up my mind between that 7-08 and a 6.5. I have .308 Hells Canyon NO muzzle brake. Just 7-08 ammo is hard to find in NC.

I just got the XBolt Hell’s Canyon speed and I haven’t put a scope on it yet. I also got it in 6.5 Creedmore. I will let you know how it works. I like a 7mm08 but fell for the hype. A friend has one and he loves his. I think it will be good and if not I will trade it for something bigger.

Nice gun. Mine is a browning x-bolt eclipse heavy barrel .204 ruger with grooved barrel stainless nice gun too but i also have .338 win mag for bigger game

Quote of the week, “after I paid them a lot of money”. 🤪

I like the 7mm 08 just that it is a hard to find caliber here in Canada. It's a good deer round!

We killed 3 bull moose with are 7mm08 one shot each and they dropped right there on the spot

Same rifle in 25-06 is awesome too

The 270 and the 7mm08 are two of the best rounds to use.

I have a new one 708 and 243 308 I love all 3

I had a 7mm-08 i shot as a kid it was a good round but a bad gun( long story short it shot the first round well but the more it heated up the worse it did). I had no problems from the round but would lean towards a 308 or any other 30 caliber as the ultimate rifle for deer and this boils down to heavier bullets for all the 30 calibers. The 308 mainly for anything 200yds and under and a 300 win mag for the 200+ -600yd possibility range. this has more to do with velocity and drop issues. Finally I chose a 308 due to cheap readily avalible ammo since i use it on deer and hogs mostly and alot of that is management purposes the cheap ammo is key.

What part of alabama are you in ? i have family that live in the leesburg/centre area

I love muzzle break!

Love mine killed a really nice buck lest season with it. 150 grain Nosler ABLR reloads.

I like the Browning Eclipse! I would buy one today if it was chambered in 6.5 PRC!

I am thinking hard about building a 7mm 08 as I agree it is close to a perfect hunting round.

What’s up Cameron, I’ve got a 7mm-08 in a Weatherby Vanguard and have taken Scimitar horned Oryx with it. Barnes 120gr TTSX. I think you’re on to something. It’s a bad cal that’s for sure! See you at the G2!

THE perfect deer rifle. 100%. No recoil. All Power...THEY WONT GO 20

7mm-08 is my favorite caliber,,i have 2 browning xbolts, and one mossberg patriot.

Hello from Sweden. If you got to try the 6.5 55 swede it does the same thing. Really good cartige. And really cheap

Can I ask why you would put a 6-24 on a deer rifle? I’m a long range target shooter and the highest magnification I’ve ever used was 22 power when shooting at a 1300 yard target. I’d be comfortable shooting 400 yards with a 6 power scope. Why not put a 1-6 or something on it that’s much more effective for sub 300 yard shooting?

I agree the 7mm08 is a great cartridge and great for deer but... I've been seriously thinking about a deer rifle and I have decided to go with the 25-06. My reason is for the flat trajectory I prefer aperture sights and I wanted a cartridge that I could shoot 300+ yards with out a sight adjustment. Not saying it's better both are great. Thanks for sharing

7mm 08 ab3 are a beast on deer

Yelp if there 100 or more I switch to a slug I use a single shot 12 gauge

Can you elk hunt with this caliber? Thanks

The regular stock is better, just get a pad to extend it a little. I have the walnut in .308

Yes 7mm08 your right is probably the greatest thing for deer in modern day calibers stopping by power of a 30-06 without recoil holds up better in wind not terrible amount of rainbow trajectory and shoot flatter than a 270 and at farther distance will hit with more energy than a 308 it's the greatest common probably second best is no longer on the market a 243wssm they fall just a good with the 7mm08

I like the 300 win mag and 300 rum

270wsm

25/06 270 30/06 308 300wsm any will put meat on table

7 mm is perfect for deers as well as 270 win is perfect

It is a perfect rifle in general I killed a Ram and a bull elk and many deer with my 7mm08 it's my Scarface.

I have no idea where the idea that the 7mm-08 is youth cartridge came from. It's honesty superior to the .308. Out of the whole family, .243 Winchester, .260 Remington, 7mm-08, .308 Winchester, .338 Federal, .358 Winchester, the .308 is at the bottom as far as I'm concerned. 7mm-08 has better SD, BC, less recoil, higher velocities, the .338 Federal and .358 federal perform incredible 350 yards and under. The .308 doesn't quite fill the weight gap between 7mm-08 and the .338/.358 based cartridges. The only reason I buy .308 Winchester brass, is to neck it down or up. One day 7mm STW will be considered a youth cartridge cause it's not as powerful as a .30-378 Weatherby.

I like the Mossberg mvp 223 (because I am 12 and sensitive to recoil 😂)

I agree 100%.😁👍👍👍👍👍👍 Anything smaller is crool on deer or smaller. 😥😡

Let's see. .308 case necked down for a .284 bullet. Beats the 6.5 Creedmoor out to 500 yards. Makes it good for longer shots on pronghorn. Low recoil (about 12 ft. lbs.). Won't cause a flinch. Carries enough kinetic energy that, when using a controlled-expansion bullet like a Nosler Partition, can take elk out 250-300 yards. I'd say it could have a place in a lot of people's gun safes.

I like cartridges like I like my women; sexy and lithe when introduced, ages well into maturity and still sexy and lithe when fully mature! A .270 Winchester fits the bill and yeah, get off my lawn!

Browning rifles are awesome. So is 7mm08. Youth round? No way. I shot my mountain goat with 7mm08. Not a youth hunt 😊.

No I prefer 308 in my opinion! Roll Tide

I don't doubt that rifle shoots well in any caliber

The x-bolts are prone to jamming because of the high ejection angle. Especially in the magnum action. The empty case hits the scope and falls back into the chamber. DON'T BUY!
