Tikka M65 Deluxe 338 wm or Weatherby Mark V deluxe 300 weatherby for Moose

[30Cal]

x3 Tikka as it's cheaper to feed with 338wm. 338 WM appears more popular in B.C. especially in grizzly country. However, in SK & AB I see more hunters using 300WM for everything, including moose or elk.

I'd opt for the 338 as well. That's my personal choice for moose. Yes the 338 could be considered overkill but the heavier bullets will give you greater insurance if you have a less than perfect shot and have to punch though bone etc. In my experience it doesn't seem to do as much meat damage as the 300 mags either. As well as others have said ammunition will be more readily available and likely less expensive. At the end of the day though you need to like the rifle and be comfortable with the way it handles, that is the most important thing.
