sledhead Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I am in the market for a new rifle, have looked at many and have got it down to the tikka T3 lite or a browning X bolt. Can anyone help with some pro's and con's or either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledhead Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 It will be for moose and I am thinking 7mm WSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 i would opt for the 300wsm instead of the 7mm wsm. Around these parts, the 7WSM is pretty much dead. i havent seen one in forever and i cant remember the last time i saw the ammo either. Tikka makes a very good accurate light rifle. I have never heard a bad thing about browning either. If you are looking for a pretty rifle i would go with the browning.IMO Tikka does just not have the looks, the wood, or the lines of the X-Bolt. But in the end it all comes down to what you wanna spend and what fits you the best. But i would seriously do some research on availability of ammo in your area if you dont reload before you get the 7mm WSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterbobb Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I see lots of 7 WSM here. They are all on the used gun racks. Not even considering that though the 7 WSM is a little light for moose. I would stay away from any of the short magnums. I think they are just a fad and in a few years ammo will be hard to come by. If it was me I would go with the Browning in either a plain old 30-06 or a 300 Win. Mag. It would be a shame to loose a trophy of a life time because you didn't bring enough gun. A moose is a big animal and takes a lot of killing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
