What Rifle is Going BIG GAME hunting?

Win model 70 xtr 338 win mag next month for moose
Win model 88 308 various times over the deer season
Marlin model 94 in 44 mag various times over the deer season
Maybe my marlin 30/30 as well
 
I've expanded my collection a bit this year with a few rifles I really like, so I've decided to try to take at least 1 animal with each:

My go-to standby is a 700 Mtn Rifle in 30-06 with a Timney Trigger and Elite 4200 2.5-10X40. This will likely take my 2 bucks, and an elk if I get the chance.

My Marlin GG in 45/70 will either take a moose or a bear, or maybe both.

My Marlin 336 30/30 will take at least 1 doe.

My Ruger #1 243 will also take a doe.

The rest of the tags, well it'll just have to depend what I have with me that day. Anybody got a Model 7 in 308 with iron sights for sale? :D

Starting in 7 days - my PSE Nova single cam, beaman ICS 400 arrows tipped with 100grain innerloc 1 1/4" broadheads at 265 fps

Then on October 1st - switch to my 50 cal NEF Huntsman muzzle loader with 45cal sabots over 100grains of 777, or a 340gr REAL bullet graciously donated by great gun nutz

Then on Nov 4th - choices choices!

-BLR in 358 Win
-my grandpas old model 94 in 32 win - sentimental favorite, want to shoot a deer with it
-custom mauser in 257 roberts

Depends on where we go and what we are after!

I love this time of year
 
I just got back from my "Big Game Hunt" on Wednesday, hunting for moose and I was using my Schultz and Larson 7mm Remington Mag topped with a Bushnell 3200 3-9x40. I was using the Winchester accubonds 160 grain bonded bullets (Winchester supreme).

This set up worked great and I got a moose as well. I hit it at 140 yards just infront of the shoulder and it died nearly instanly.
