While both guns are nice, which would be better suited for ontario moose?

Likely way more than one needs. A moose wouldn't be able to tell the difference! I'd go with the 338 because I've seen more ammo availability.
Im a Tikka fan, but as said maybe a little heavy on the rounds.
I think the best one would be the one in. 30-06 or. 308...but hey that's just me.
It's not the size of the bullet. It's where you put it lol.
Nothing at all wrong with either choice. Don't listen to the nay sayers, neither of these are too much gun if you can shoot them well. I have become a big fan of the 338 recently, and would likely choose that cartridge, as I feel that for the added recoil over a non magnum it has the most added gain. But, I also prefer the weatherby to the tikka, so it's kind of a toss up in my books.
Either will easily kill a moose or anything else on this continent. Tikka's have a reputation for being shooters but the Mark V is no slouch in that department either. Choose whatever fits best.
Choice between the Tikka and the Weatherby is tough. However I have a 338 WM and I really like it. I give the nod to the 338 WM (rippin_355 is right), it is easier to find ammo for the 338 and if you go out west you will find that it is a very popular cartridge for long range elk hunting.
Either. Both will kill them fast. However are too much gun for me. Prefer a 300 win which is still a lot of gun.
