you probably could beat a moose to death with a Mosin and it would work 
fine. My wife came equipped with a M44. That was a piece of work. Take 
something with a muzzle blast from hell and chop about 9" off the barrel 
and add a sidewinder bayonet.

The guys that shoot the 1000 yard competition at the local range love 
their 6.5s. The last I knew the best 10 shot bench rest group was under 7" 
so they're doing something right. 

..300 Win Mag is popular here with the elk crowd. I'll pass. I only shoot 
paper anymore and I'm not into self-inflicted pain.
