Default Moose hunt choices

I am planning a moose hunt to Nova Scotia this fall and I am undecided as to what rifle I should take. I have 3 that would be good 'moose medicine' so lets hear your choice. My order of choice is as follows:

1: Ruger #1 - 405 WIN
2: Marlin Guide Gun - .45-70
3: Tikka T3 - 30-06

I handload so the loads for the above guns are not 'wimpy' loads. Both the .405 and .45-70 use 300 gr bullets and the '06 shoots 180s. I personally am leaning toward the .405. The only reason is because it is such a neat rifle even though it is a bit on the heavy side. The Marlin is short and light and would be my second choice.
