I am down to one 30/30...... 1978 Antlered Game.
I had attempted to restock it back in 2020 with Super Grade wood; and for those that remember the stock was $450 which was fine; but one side only was figured....... back side was exactly like this standard grade wood.... so we sent it back. This stock is not figured BUT it is brand new and fits...

I guess I see this backwards....
I would say " your daughter is beautiful and the goat is ok too" at any rate a late congrats and a very successful hunt!
In my experience with Moose over the last 50 years in both Alaska and Maine, it would involve HUNDRED'S of bulls. I used a .338 for years to back up hunters; it works perfect for one's running off after the client made a lousy shot. I finally came to the conclusion that the .338WM (Winchester...
We used 165gr and Jack O'Conner old loading; 4064 @52 grains, for 35 years, it ran a whisker over 2900fps from my old of Win model 70 Featherweight. Its a Flawless load, for bout anything in N.A . Used Nosler SB before the Balistic Tip came out for everything except Moose and Grizzly,
