.280 Rem AI. Good luck.

I could get by nicely with my .280 for all non dangerous big game... In fact I've used it successfully for everything up to and including Alaska bull moose...

However, since according to the post I'm allowed TWO rifles, I'll include my 9.3 x 62 for those times when I desire a heavier bullet...It would get the nod for moose and elk in the timber...Actually, a .358 Win, .35 Whelen or .338-06 would serve just as well...

7MM-08 and a 35 Whelen.

I like the way you think james though I'm changing the -08 to a 280.

280 rem & 35 whelen

Good choices all.
My pick would be the 25-06 and the 338-06.

308 winin something short, light handy bolt with a 20" tube 1.5x6x40

338-06 in a Medium weight bolt with a 23" tube and a 3x9x40

BareBack - That's pretty darn close to my choices of the .260 Rem and the .338 Federal...you chose the '06 case, I the .308 case.

For all intents & purposes, the same...except you maybe get an extra 25 yards of effective range out of each due to the slightly larger capacities ofthe case, and I get slightly less recoil.

I like your style!

Well thanks,I just like the '06 family(or most of them).You like the way I think,and I realy like the looks of your dogs.

Prolly the 6.5x55 Swede........and the .35 Whelen.......oh wait, I already have those [8D]

7mm-08 and .450 Marlin for me...
