[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 2324547, member: 110518"] IMO I am wondering what kind of guide can't get you closer than 300 yards on a moose hunt let alone 500 yards. I honestly don't know what the percentages are but the vast majority of "hunters" would be hard pressed to make a 300 yard shot - even on an animal the size of a Yukon moose. Not any of you guys!!!!! But be that as it may your shoulder seems to be the limiting factor here. But here's a thought. You said this is likely your only moose hunt so.. get yourself a 300 WM or WSM and then talk to a gunsmith that would shorten the stock (if needed) and install a good recoil absorbing recoil pad or better yet, a piston recoiling system inside the stock like those in some shotguns. I put a link below but maybe you can find something similar in the US. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.recoilsystems.com/isis-ii.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
