.270 or a lever gun

[pete dobinson]

BLR, Savage 99 or M88 either of these chambered in 308win, all capable out to 300 yds.

I will be taking a Winchester '94 big bore in 375 win next month for elk, due to the excellent handling qualities and expected short range shots. It is butting in line ahead of what a lot of people would consider "superior" elk cartridges/rifles that will be staying home...

Buy what you like and use it appropriately. Sure, your 270 will get it done, but does it "scratch that itch"?

I have a BLR in 308. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a moose with it. If you're in Vancouver or Kamloops I'll even let you play with it. Kamloops you can shoot it at the range if I can find a time to go.

My go to is a bolt 270. Never shot a moose but several deer and bear went down in a hurry.

I appreciate the offer but MB is a drive and a half from there. Never considered .308 tbh for mooser elk

308 will get the job done just fine. It's just boring. Lol

Not only that ammunition can be bought almost anywhere.

I’m also a sucker for a classic lever action. As stated, I will also echo a 45-70.

 

[Ardent]

Don’t go .45-70.

Every Canadian should have a .30-30, I say go for it, and make it a Winchester if you can shoot iron sights.
