I love the big gun, especially the way " it kills on both ends"
I like the big recoil, lets me know I' m still alive
I knew that somebody would suggest that a smaller rifle than my .300 WM would kill a moose. I know. The biggest moose killed in Maine for that particular year, was one bull that weighed in at something like 1200 pounds. A 12 year old girl shot it with a .22-250. I understand that smaller rifles will do a job on big animals, in fact, here in Maine a hunter can even use the .22 rimfire magnum for deer hunting. Legally, not necessarily the greatest deer cartridge.
I just want another rifle, so this is an excuse, more than anything
