Speaking of VP, NEW LINGO, Moosegun...

I'll answer as soon as I can stop laughing long enough to wipe the tears from my eyes so I can see the screen again!

T-rex!

thats a moosegun!

I think it kind of makes sense, I really dont know how Mousegun came up in the first place....but I dont really see whats so funny about this.....maybe I have a poor sense of humor.....

Apparently, revolvers are popular among some moose hunters.

It's a size/mine vs. yours thing...

Anthony C--If my cartridge is larger than yours and I want to make fun of yours, then yours is by comparison capable of only killing something tiny like a mouse. Ergo, it's a mousegun.

By comparison, my huge weapon with its relatively large cartridge is capable of killing something large and menacing, like a moose. Ergo, it's a moosegun.

The .32 ACP, for example, gets called a mousegun cartridge, even though some shooters like it and get really good results with it in bullseye pistol.

The ultimate moosegun would likely be the .577 Tyrannosaur, preferably in a nice light mountain rifle. (Such a combination would probably break or dislocate your shoulder with every shot.)

There. Now have I analyzed it to the point of no humor at all??

Alright it makes more sense now, thanks for the explination, and yes, when I see somthing again, I will laugh

Moosegun

Alright, I guess I'll answer the actual question...

Probably a bolt-action .300 Winchester Magnum with a stainless finish, shooting heavy-for-caliber bullets.

There. That wasn't so hard...

Dude I'm just going to keep carrying the SRH 454 Casull with a 2X6x32 Bushnell Elite LER scope in a shoulder rig.

I think I'd rather have a .375... You can always load it down to .300 ballistic levels, but you can only load that .300 up to .375 levels once...

50-90 sharps..........in a 1874 sharps........just because I already own one

My uncle used a 1/2 ton chevy pickup truck. However it only works one time.

Now THAT is some EXPENSIVE ammo!

Lots of hunters call their guns "deer guns" or "moose guns", or "bear gun" or "home protection gun". Not new.

I would probably use my 270 win rifle if I hunted moose. But if I were buying something new, I'd look at a 325 WSM. That caliber has a lot of appeal to me.

I agree, 300 win mag with 180 or 200 grain bullets would be ideal.

I used a 7mm Rem Mag. Filled the freezers with a moose and two caribou every year.

Moose don't need a lot of lead, it's mostly a question of what distance you'll be shooting at and what the terrain is like. For inside 50 a hunting handgun is fine. If the country is more open a magnum would be useful to keep trajectories flat. They don't need a .375 H&H. My neighbor out in the Mat-Su took a bull with a 150 grain 7.62x39. A 170 grain .30-30 Nosler or 160 leverevolution would be fine at woods ranges. They usually trot off, realize they're dead and fall over. Hopefully not in some nasty bog. Then the hard part begins!

I'm pretty sure either my Garand, or my 91/30 would do the trick.

Hmmm....can't seem to upload pics anymore

OOOXOOO;

Now in Wyoming, that method of taking is usually referred to as using the 30/40 Jimmie.

Half tons are for deer & antelope. Takes a 3/4 ton or better for elk & moose if'n it's gonna be a repeater.

Please be true.

I'm sure she has time right now, not having anything better to do.
