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.

CERTIFIED GUN NUT--

Well placed shots at reasonable ranges....
30-06 or 7MM Rem. mag. will do the job and do it well!

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&quot; 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 &quot;once in a lifetime&quot; 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

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.
