Lightweight hunter 7mm-08 or 6.5 creedmoor?
I went to look at a x-bolt hunter today in a 7mm-08 and fell in love with the savage lightweight hunter! they have 2 cartridge sizes in stock 7mm-08 or 6.5 creedmoore. What is every ones take between the two? longest shot I could ever take would be 150-200 yards. I have leupold vx-1 sitting in the safe that I would mount on top. I plan on using this rifle as my primary whitetail rifle.
would love to hear any thoughts or opinions?
thank you in advance

I was looking at a similar situation but opted for the 6.5 Creedmoor as that is what my Grandsons are using so I thought it would be easier to work up some loads for them.
A couple of months later, I couldn't resist and went back for the 7mm-08. I'm having fun with both of them and don't know which one I would give up first.
I haven't had any difficulty finding ammo or components for either one but the Creedmoor dies were a bit more costly.
