I like the 7-08. I always thought of it as a good caliber for people who think that the 308 is a little too much for them. It's a short action also, so it's going to cycle faster than your long actions, and the rifles are more compact, which makes them great woods-walking rifles. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot an Elk with a 7-08. I think the only advantage the 280 might have over the 7-08 is range.
