The perfect moose/elk rifle, or not...

[little bear]

Old reliable

Used an 58 year old, Number 1 Mark III .303, 180 grain bullet, 4 power scope, called the big boy to 50 metres, one shot to the neck and it was all over but the eaten'!!

 

[shredder0]

Restocked surplus Mauser with Lyman receiver sight. 8mm x 57 220 grain Hornady spitzer at 2350 fps = dead moose.

I wanted to use my 30-06, but the 'smith was not done with it in time so I took my backup and it worked to perfection.

I used a .338 Federal shooting Federal Premium 185 TSX loads, but due to a surgery for my FUBAR'd ankle, I was not able to close the deal on elk but managed to dust a nice 3 point Whitey.
It will be different this year, I swear it ! ! !

last year i was all ready to go hunting moose with my 280 abolt with 160 gr. tsx's, then along came my 3 whelen. I had it loaded up with 225 gr. tsx's and scoped with a 6x42 leupold. I had it pointed at the vitals of a moose but my hunting partner wanted his turn at killing a moose so I waited for him to shoot it using his savage 99 dm in 308. Our other hunting partner also shot a moose that trip using a rem.700 dm in 280 using 140 gr, tsx'x that I loaded up for him. That rifle is mine now too as he decided he wanted a 3006. Life is great when you own a 280 and a 35 whelen

I used my 6.5 55 with 140 gr federal fusions for elk last fall. Took a nice young cow with it, freezer full

 

[Red foreman]

Last couple of seasons it's been my 99F in .308 with my 30-06 stainless Ruger 11 taking the wet days.Probally the same this year although I'm going to try and get my 99's in .250 and .300 into the hunt some this year.

 

[mikeyb]

Winchester Model 70 .30-06 shooting 180gr TSX.

 

[Silverback]

The last moose I got was with a Remington Sendero in 338 RUM with a Leupold VX3 4.5-14 X 50 with B&C reticle and Hornady 225 grain Interbonds, worked great.

 

[cpynch]

TC Pro-hunter .300WM - Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x44 BDC, 180gr el cheapo winchester ammo.

Didn't get one...

 

[mxracer328]

browning a bolt medallion, with 180 accubonds, topped with a 3.5-10x50 vortex viper. seems to work well although i never got a chance to connect on one last year.

 

[peterf]

Sporterized Spanish 93 mauser in 7x57 with a Nikon Monarch for calf moose the last few years. It's a little heavy but I love it. When we get a bull tag I take my Rem 700 in .300 wby.
