I've never shot a 7mm-08, but I agree with those who say, just split the difference and get a .260 rem - the goldilocks cartridge. You cannot go wrong however - all good cartridges. Just make sure that if you *do* pick .243 or 6mm Rem, explain to the kiddos that it's important not to use the light varmint bullets (55 - 75/80 grains) on deer; use 85s-107s, which are constructed to hold together better and penetrate.
