RE: Best gun for deer, moose, and elk?
My choice would have to be a .300 Win.Mag ...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Best gun for deer, moose, and elk?
FOR DEER AND ELK I WOULD SAY ANY OF THE 7MM MAGS. AS FOR A MOOSE I WOULD GO A BIT LARGER .338 BUT, IF IT WERE ONLY ONE GUN I WOULD SAY A 300. MY PEREFERENCE IS THE 300REM ULTRAMAG.

RE: Best gun for deer, moose, and elk?
Either gun will work.

RE: Best gun for deer, moose, and elk?
Well placed shots at reasonable ranges....
30-06 or 7MM Rem. mag. will do the job and do it well! |
RE: Best gun for deer, moose, and elk?
The 300 win mag goes 300fps faster which generates 700 ft/lbs of energy. (Those numbers are close, but rounded...using 180 grain bullets out of both guns.)
The 300 win mag also shoots 6" flatter at 300 yards. I know that the 30-06 is more than capable of killing all 3 animals. However, if I were to go on a "once in a lifetime" moose/elk trip...I'd opt for the 300. That said, the 30-06 is the best deer gun around in my opinion. So I guess I'd buy 2 different guns! LOL |
RE: Best gun for deer, moose, and elk?
If I had to pick one gun for all three, it would probably be the .35 Whelen. However, of those you mention, I'd go with the 30-06.

7mm mag all the way.if you reload it's even better yet but if not no big deal
