[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1220799, member: 69799"] I agree that you need a few rifles. For Moose, I'd recommend a 7mm, .30-06, or a .300WM. They all have enough power to drop a moose. That power comes with decent recoil, and if you are somewhat new to shooting, it can be difficult to tame. I'd start off with a smaller caliber and develop you shooting skills, so you can better handle the recoil of the larger calibers. Bbear mentions several good calibers that are capable of long distance shooting without the recoil of a 7mm, a .30-06, or the .300WM. All will allow you to reach out there while developing your skills. What is your budget for reloading and your optics? Swapping out barrels is something, IMO, that you should only try with the proper tools and experience. It is not as easy as it looks on the YouTube videos. You should be able to find an accurate production rifle without the need for swapping out barrels. [/QUOTE]
