Honestly I really want the option for whatever I want, idk if that helps. I am looking to buy one gun so ill have a good fun range gun but in the next year or two ill have a good gun to take on a trip to moose, elk or any other kind of bear. I don't have anything particular in mind hunt wise, but want something that can do the job
Fair enough, My recomendation is still somthing 30 cal.
I have a 300 wby that I took my elk with in 2000. It was a great gun and I dropped a elk in its tracks with a shot to its neck @ 438 yards. If I would have put a 7mm bullet in the same spot from the same distance the elk would have died no faster, or no slower. I always say pratice/shot placement trump ballistics every single time.
