Mission most certainly accomplished!!!
Does not take much for me to realize how nice a good Remington 700 CDL looks! That CZ 550 FS is simply awesome too.

Don't overlook a .338 Winchester Mag. either.
From a 375 at 80 yds,that result really suprised me.
DogLeg, for a minute there you had me convinced you were in cahoots with my wife ;-).
I know you are right and it may make far more sense for me to save up for a used ATV for the hunt or save for a plains game hunt in SA in 2015.
But it is nice to fantasize in the dead of winter ;-)
No worries .... I didn't take your comment like that. I too was quite surprised at the results but did learn that moose don't "bang flop" on a broadside lung shot. A couple or 4 yrs later I shot another moose broadside with a TSX. It too just stood there, but I knew better than to blaze away with the rifle. It just stood there for a bit and finally died.Don't get me wrong, I wasn't doubting you,

If I was to do it all again, I wouldn't go with a 375Magnum but would prefer a lightweight 35Whelen or 9.3x62. There are lots of good bullets for each chambering and moose won't know the diff. from a 375.
Just out of curiosity...why is there a .338 Win Mag cartridge pictured with the bullets? Just to show scale?
Could it be a 375 CT ??
The original 375cal short mag, but don't tell Gatehouse.Could it be a 375 CT ??
The only Remington that makes me whistle, I like that rifle SC.

On moose all will be all but indistinguishable, .375 H&H is by far the most readily available and also the most capable of the bunch (.375 Ruger to my understanding will struggle with the 350 and 380gr loadings on account of OAL). If you're after versatility, there's only one "best", but if just after something different any will do.
Oh Ardent, Ardent, Ardent. I saw a picture of Finn Aagaard cradling a....wait for it...Remington Safari Classic.![]()
