[QUOTE="Muskrat Outdoors, post: 2247005, member: 119188"] If he doesn't own a 30-06, I wouldn't suggest buying one if he does own a 308. At practical range, there isn't enough difference to squabble about. Remember, the 308 replaced 30-06 as a military rifle. People and elk are quite a bit different though.... "Around the world a lot of Moose succumb to 6.5 bullets, just keep your shots realistic." I agree, but my Great Grandad hunted moose with great success in the Alaskan Gold Rush with a 25-35 Winchester......it worked fine, but personally, I wouldn't consider either a good "Moose Rifle". Grandad also hunted deer with a 22LR. It was legal back then and he kept shots close. Other that poachers, today nobody considers a 22LR a deer rifle. [/QUOTE]
