RE: 7mm vs. 30-06
I'm sure someone here will say something along the lines of "it's all in where you hit them so it doesn't really matter". But that person is not me! I would pick the 7mag since the rifle is for elk & moose and all. If you can handle a 7 mag well enough to take advantage of the increased range it has I think you will be very happy with it. And the 7 mag is a little more romantic of a caliber than the old
30-06 workhorse.
