I am new to Moose Hunting in Alaska. I am looking at picking up a rifle. I have been considering one of two rifles. Ruger 30-06 Springfield (Weight is 7 lbs., barrel length is 22") or a Ruger 300 win. Mag. (Weight is 7.25 lbs. barrel length is 24") I am trying to avoid any specialized gunsmithing (muzzle break, magnaporting etc.) I am also trying to avoid a large amount of recoil.
Both rifles are within my price range. The hunting that rifle will be used for is Moose, Caribou and possibly Black Bear. I have a .44 mag for "close encounters" of the Brown bear variety. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
