7mm-08 Remington is a mild-recoiling centerfire rifle cartridge based on the .308 case, popular for deer-sized game and valued for its balance of effectiveness and shootability.

7mm-08 necks the .308 case to 7mm, producing an efficient cartridge with notably moderate recoil that many shooters, including recoil-sensitive and younger hunters, find easy to manage. It is well regarded for deer and similar game and is also used for target shooting. Ammunition is available in a reasonable selection at moderate cost, though not as ubiquitous as .308 or .270. It suits hunters who want an easy-shooting, capable medium-game cartridge.
