Sticking with the .308 win. Love the calibre.

Time to spread the luvvvvvvv and buy a real "MOOSE GUN".

You might need a 300WinMag or something larger. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1172246-Winchester-Model-70-Classic-SS-in-300WM

OP has a couple of decent guns with some character and history.... now looking for an equivalent bolt action, IMO that is not an Axis or X7 or American....

He also stated he's not looking to break the bank, nor does he want junk. The axis and X7 fit both those. Also he does not state he's looking for equivalent bolt action.

Remington 788; 308 is plenty medicine for moose with a well placed shot and this gun is a well kept secret. The carbine is a poor man's Gunsite Scout.

HE does not want junk...

I dont think you will ever be in trouble with a 308, and shooting it will be a pleasant experience, i own many larger calibers but always end up using my Scout Steyr 308 for any serious hunt... It just kill them very dead... Just saying

I am always on the lookout for 308 rifles, lately i have been doing a lot of reading on the Haenel Jaeger 10 308 Tracker, this one could join the herd pretty soon... JP.

Just get a boyds stock for the X7 if you don't like the Tupperware. I wouldn't mind hearing in your opinion what classifies them as junk? I agree the Axis is.

Weatherby Vanguard Series 2. Best bang for the buck. Guaranteed sub MOA. Since you already have .308's, I would go for a larger caliber.

In the entry level rifle, i have to agree with this gentleman... JP.

Tikka T3 lite stainless or Browning Xbolt. I have both in 308 and love them.

Savage 10TR It's incredible with 5R barrel and accou Trigger n Stock. Awesome gun for an incredible value. Best bang for the dollar sub Moa rifle

X2

My X-bolt in 308 was a great rifle

Since no one has thrown this out there yet, how about a CZ 550?

Options would be CZ 550 American, CZ 550 standard, or a CZ 550 full stock.

All come in 308 or 30-06, and are built like a tank.

X7 lacks a thumbhole stock., thus the "junk" designation.

Winchester 88, it has a handhold lever.
I've used mine for moose hunting for a long time, flawless.

tikka t3 .........simply cannot beat the performance of that rifle off the shelf.....I have 4

Hmmm, what was it again... "lipstick on a pig?"

Winchester Model 70 Featherweight.

I agree ....... There's lots of cheapo/entry rifles out there that folks buy and restock. Doesn't make sense.
