    26 Nosler for Moose

    My son was drawn for a OIL Bull Moose tag here in Washington, What do you guys think about the 26 loaded with the 160 grain Woodleigh bullet? The 2 moose I have shot in Canada were both done with my 300 WM and 150gr Partitions and did great.

So my question is if Santa comes through I'm going to mount a Nightforce...

So I'm looking for a new rifle and you know how that goes, one day it's a...
