Many moose are taken in Canada with the 308 and 30-06. So consider those calibers as a reasonable baseline. As you mention Moose aren't overly hard to put down but if the shot is marginal and there's water around they have a habit of getting into wet spots than make recovery difficult...

Thanks! Yes some snow and wind but Thanks! Yes today is a bit of snow and wind but nothing too severe. Hope it's good in your area.

Have recently spent sometime with a set of the Blasers and a set of Viperflex Pro to Go. The ability of the Blaser front rest to swivel is a nice feature. Not that crazy about the twist locks on the legs. Overall the Blasers are good but seem to have a couple cons. The Viperflex legs are a bit...

Part of being well prepared is considering from time to time if one is a little "too" well prepared. Send me a pm if you have any other questions. Thx.

Appreciate the joke. I have a good friend in PA and we get a lot of milage from that one in our conversations as well :-)

Gearing up. I like to be prepared. :)

Been a member here for awhile. Life is busy so just getting around to posting an intro. Spend my hunting time pursing deer, moose, elk and lots of small game, gearing up for the spring snow goose hunt at the moment. Always up for something new so have learned a lot by reading through these...

Looks very good. Congrats.

Lots of nice Finnish rifles. I'm partial to the stainless 75's. Haven't found much of a way to improve then except for adding McMillan stocks. Here are a few of mine. First pic is a 300 win mag, then a 243 and a 223. Second pic has a couple of varmints. First is a 223, second is a pretty...

Have ordered from them a few times as well and no issues. They have some inventory but seem to drop ship quite a bit as well. Because of that orders can take awhille to ship, just depends on what your looking for.

They're very good rifles. I have a few of the stainless versions and use them quite a bit. The only negative I think one could come up with is that they're a little heavy but that's also a sign of durability. Some pro's over the Tikka include all metal mag / bottom metal and there are five...
