Congrats on the tag!! I missed this year but was planning on using the7mm myself. Best of luck

Maineah,

Sounds like you' ve got a solution for this year. I' d recommend for next year (or even this year) that you follow through with the plan you had earlier when you bought the two rifles, i.e. that you planned to sell one. Sounds like the one that is dear to you is the 260. The two calibers are too close together. Sell the less preferred one and move the cash over to a rifle in a cartridge/caliber " better spaced" from the 260. That way your rack will have more versatility and on bigger game, you will have the choice of using a rifle that rates " excellent" , instead of " adequate, but....."

Gunbroker.com is a good resource to convert guns to cash and back to guns again with out losing much, versus dealing through gun shops.

Never Go Undergunned,

I' m going to say .375H&H, the .338 win mag or lapua is great too, but I really like the .375H&H. Your .30-06 would do it fine, but it would be best to get something bigger, since you' ve only been able to get one once every twenty years, I don' t think I' d go ' marginally gunned' if I were you, I' d be getting a new gun that I KNOW will do the job where-ever a shot presents itself.

Maineah my dad has hunted moose for over 40 years. He uses one of 2 guns, a 300 and a 308. He has killed many moose with either gun.

You stated: Well my dad' s loads are hand loads and for moose he shoots 180 & 200gr round nose. They have worked for him for many years.

In my opinion is that if you like the feel of your gun and that it shoots well, I would stick with your 7mm. My dad has killed out over 300 yards with the 308. Your gun will be more than enough if it is accurate.

Your .260 Rem, loaded with 140-160gr premium bullets, is all you would ever need. The 7mm/08 with 150-160gr bullets, ditto.

I' m leaning towards a 125 gr. G5 this year.
