[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1521859, member: 61747"] Interesting topic. I am just about to finish up a sub 8 lb rifle in a short action. It was designed for long range wolf hunting, not big game, but the platform I use is a fairly quick barrel swap to something more suited to big bear and moose. I suspect I would swap the bolt head and run a 7mm short magnum of some sort with 180 class bullets. Currently my light build is configured in a 6.5 creed running 147's. Good wolf poison for sure, decent on elk to 500 and under. I would not feel comfortable with 1500 lbs of energy on a moose at 500 though. I have only guided a hunt for moose, never shot 1. [/QUOTE]
