You still don't get it, do you? STEAKS and ROASTS, not hamburger! I
realise that, at your age, you are no longer able to chew and are
limited to soft foods, but some of us still have (some) teeth. Sheesh.

Hey, that IS a bolt action rifle. Unless you're a "really" lousy
shot, and just wound whatever a lot, you won't be getting hamburger with
a bolt action. But, as I didn't know how good a shot you are, thought
you might benefit from a few extra rounds immediately available - plus,
you only have to load once, for a full day of hunting. "My" lastest
rifle is a bolt action single shot. "I'm" a "good" shot. Out of
curiosity, just what "do" you use to hunt with? Bow and arrows?
Crossbow? Old table saw blades?

For moose I use the FN version of the old recoilless Remington Model 8
autoloading (4-shot magazine), .35 calibre, inherited from my father
and affectionately know among my friends as "Luigi's blunderbuss".
Kicks back less than a .22. Pretty useless beyond 150 yards, but I
don't shoot unless I'm absolutely sure of my shot. A pretty good bush
gun.

You can see a picture here, go down to "Remington Rifle Used in
Ambush"

Most people around here use different 30-06s.

Ah yes, nice piece. Any shots much over 100 yards, are usually
uncalled for anyway - unless it's at a target, I love long-distance
target shooting. My uncle had one just like it, I always lusted after
one, but never ran across one when I had money. My old man had a
Winchester thuddy-thuddy lever action. He swore by it, but that was one
of the few rifles I just plain couldn't hit much with. I had a '03
Springfield for many years, that I really liked, very accurate. Hard
times, had to sell. Ah well. Post a picture sometime, with you and a
moose. Oh yeah, be sure to tell us which is which. LMAO
