Hey I just bought the Magnus and made my decision based on your videos. Thanks! Also contemplating a 7mm-08 or .308 but wanted to see which setup is quieter? My Magnus is the full size. Thanks again!
6 in one hand, half dozen in the other... They'll be about the same DB level in the Magnus due to its massive internal volume. That said, I have been shooting the 7mm-08 and the .308 Win for going on 25 years now, and they are both great cartridges. Taken plenty of deer with both, and honestly, if I had my preference over the 2, I'd go 7mm-08, just for the better BC bullets. That said, you can't really go wrong with either one. For target shooting mostly, the .308 Win will get slightly better barrel life, and will do just fine for hunting. But, if you plan on mostly hunting with it, and some target shooting, the 7mm-08 will be the better option, IMO.

That said and having said that...saying that and that saying....
