Got reading your post, I am also going for moose this year but on the peninsula. I read you were thinking about getting a 300rum, I have it and I am taking moose hunting but you might want to consider a different cal. Finding ammo for the 300 rum is hard. I had to buy reloading dies and evrtything else needed, I almost did not find the brass, only rem, and nosler make the brass for that cal. And every reloading store is out of stock with no back order avilable. Federal,Rem. all of there 300 Rum, big game rounds are on hold, Federal is 3 months away before there ammo is out in stores. So just know what your in for!! Good luck in your pick.
