I know several people with see through mounts, none of them have ever used them on an animal. They all go straight to the scope. Shorter scope mounts are better as they allow a better cheek weld for ease of sighting and accuracy.

I've got a nice Zastava M70 Mannlicher in .308. 21" barrel. It's ideal as a brush gun.

For a bush gun hunting moose or bear I would recommend one of the common .30 cal cartridges that the others have listed (I prefer .308). I would lean towards a repeater though, lever or semi-auto.

Never been a fan of those,nor have I seen anyone use them.I am not nocking them,if they work for you then go for it.

I also like 30-06 because you can neck the suck out of it and get .270.

LOL. Beers cold, cave's got heat...let me know bud...

I like my .30-06 Remington 742 Woodsmaster Carbine (18.5" barrel)...it may suffer in the longest reach of a longer barreled 30-06....but where I hunt 200 yds is the absolute max shot.

Years ago, I used guns with see-through bases, and regarded the open sights as my primary sighting system, with the scope as something "nice to have" if I had a long shot and lots of time. After a few years I found that I never used the scope, so I just took it off. A little different perspective.

As to the question, I'd recommend a BLR in .308 or (if you reload) .358, or something like the Remington 760, 7600 or 750 in 30-06 or .308 with a carbine length barrel.
