[QUOTE="Tin Tin, post: 1588305, member: 42935"] Hi Marc, personally I own 31 rifles of all calibers but the one (es) I use the most is the listed on your low list which is the 300 RUM, that rifle on big game such as moose, caribou and bear is always one shot kills even at long ranges up to 720 metres at which I have had success and have shot quite a few (I am 73 and hunt since I was 6 with my dad). The 300 RUM is my best rifle for big game although i also own 375 H&H, 45-70, 30-06, 7.69x58, 7mm Mag, and other high power rifles. My second best rifle for all big game is my 7mm Mag with a variety of loads and bullet weight depending on the animal hunted and is also excellent at long ranges although not as deadly as my 300 RUM.
