It's almost here...which gun?

[BC Bigbore]

It's almost here...only five weeks until moose opens Barely enough time to decide which rifle to use So after picking through the safe, I came up with these selections for 2007. Which one out of the following list would be your pick for moose this year?

M70 .270Win
M99 .308
M94 .30-30
M70 .30-06
M700 .350 Rem Mag
M77 .338 Win Mag

(shoulda posted this in "Hunting and Sporting Arms" )

I'd go with the .308.

only because that what I intend to use for this years swamp donkey

 

[glang1]

The .270 with 150gr Nosler partitions would be my pick. All the others will do the job too. Good luck with your hunt.

I'm with Bartell on this one.......

 

[the_big_mike]

270, 308, 30-06...

anything over that is definately over kill.

 

[agilent_one]

I'd take the 350, just for the cool factor.

If it were me, I'd be choosing between the 338 and 350.

YEAS! MAGNEM! YOUSE TEH MAGNEM!!!

 

[t-star]

of course, you can go classy- savage 99 in 308

 

[gitrdun]

Out of your choices, I'd take the .338WM. But I'll be using my new baby, the mighty king of the .375's ....the H&H. Oh no, I inadvertantly started a new thread.

Moose can get pretty big in Nothern BC. Although a .270, .308 or a .30-06 may be adequate with the proper bullet, I wouldn't call the .350 Rem Mag and the .338 Win Mag overkill for big BC moose.

I would go with the .350 Rem Mag because it's the twin of my .35 Whelen and that's what I use for moose.

What!! No Lee Rnfield for the big moose!! For shame.

Btw, I intend to take my Swedish Mauser with 140 grn or 129 grn Hornadys and I won't feel undergunned!

Well...I didn't want to admit that I still own a SMLE in .303 British

308

308, good scope and a good lunch.

 

[blargon]

.338WM, only because I just got one....

 

[Bishopus]

You _could_ use any of the lesser cartridges for moose, but why? You already own the most perfect moose-killing cartridge ever devised.

Don't be coy, just saddle up with the .338 and pretty soon you'll be cutting out backstraps the size of pool noodles.
