Default RE: Looking for a rifle for hunting deer, moose, bear in Maine
Most of Maine is BIG woods and thick...

I would go with the tried and true Rem .30-06, either pump or semi.
Keep in mind you can dial this gun in for a multitude of game with a huge selection of loads that are available over the counter.
The 45/70 is just a big ass load!
When I hunt this style woods I use the iron sights on my Browning BAR .30-06 with either a 180 or 220 grain bullet,
knocks them off their hooves

What state are you moving from?
