I'm looking for one gun that i could use on anything from deer up to moose or grizzly bear without having over kill on deer. Let me know what ya'll think.
Here we go again - one rifle to do it all
Well, as noted it's hard to go wrong with a
30-06. Problem here is you're throwing grizz into the mix, and I'm guessing you want it
to include the big Alaskan brownies as well. You didn't note if you will be handloading or not.
Handloading: Take a look at 35Whelen, 350Rem.Mag., 338Win.Mag., and even the 375H&H Mag. There's really no such thing as "overkill", but you can always use reduced
or light loads for smaller big game such as deer.
If you're not going to roll your own, but just factory ammo, then I'd favor either the
338Win.Mag. or the 375H&H. They are a lot more than needed for deer, but about right
when it comes to big bears.
If you take the big bears out of the mix then a 30-06 is hard to beat.
