[QUOTE="TangoOscarMike, post: 1742404, member: 111417"] If you're just looking for a short action rifle to hunt moose and black bear with, why wouldn't you consider the .308 Winchester? I know that its not fast or fancy, but there are plenty of pluses to a classic lady. 30 caliber bullet choices are pretty much unlimited. There is a massive selection of factory loads and every single manufacturer that makes a hunting bullet makes bullets in 30 caliber I would think. if you reload, there are volumes and volumes and volumes of information on reloading for the .308 Winchester. There is also a wide selection of fine high quality brass out there. Everything in the .308 Winchester has been perfected and reperfected and reperfected 100 times over. Also, the recoil is mild. You wouldn't have to contend with the sting of the magnum cartridges. Plus, the round is more than capable of reaching out to 600 yards should the need present itself. There are also plenty of light weight factory offerings available as far as rifles go. That would be my suggestion. [/QUOTE]
