most accurate hunting rifle fo deer and moose

[deer_hunter_88]

I am wondering what you guys think the most accurate hunting rifle for big game like deer and moose. The longest shot would only be about 250 yrds but most are only 100 yrds.

rpg works pretty good, the kill is gutted, hung in the tree and cooked all in one go.
just my $0.02

It's the one you have carefully worked up a load for using a suitable bullet and you've sighted in. Mind you, hunting accuracy isn't the same as target accuracy. Two or three inches at 100 yards is accurate enough for most hunting.
However, if you're asking which commercial rifle is best, they're all about equal. The best out-of-the-box accuracy for a reasonable price is a Savage. The model doesn't matter as they're all the same action with different features.

You might want to try this in the hunting forum.

if shots are limited to 250 yards, you should be able to find dozens and dozens of rifle types to put 5 shots from a decent rest into a moose's heart with little problem.

I personally would suggest a Remington M700 in 270, 280, 7mm, 308, or 30-06. Shoot handloads and practice alot.

Any rifle will do, if you will do.

get a savage or a remington model 700. STAY AWAY FROM THE 710!
