My first moose rifle, was, is a Win. Mod.of 1917. That was before I became a milsurp aholic
Fifteen years or so ago I saw an add for an Ishapore .308. The general store in our village wouldn't order it so I got a C &R license and got it, in the mail! I hunted with it but never killed a moose.
I have six boys and two daughters, milsurps were cheaper then, so I started getting them moose rifles, for when they were older.
I got some Enfields: a couple of No. 4 Mk2's, a Mk4 No1, a Mk4 No.1*, Mk4. No 1/3 Longbranch a couple of Jungle Carbines, an M1 Garand from "The Garand Guy" and a Smith Corona 03A3.
We have used them all hunting moose.
The Garand is a blast to hunt with. I installed a Shuster Adjustable Gas Plug to use commercial ammo and not worry about breaking it.
My favorite lately is the 03A3 with 200 gr. Nozler Partitions.
