Lots of folks only seem to talk about width on moose. I would encourage you to not get too caught up in width, but to consider the overall look of a bull.

Here are two shiras bulls from a long time ago that are very similar in width ~1-2" apart IIRC, both very close to 50". I know they were both killed later that fall, and once upon a time I knew how wide they actually were. While their widths are very comparable, the one bull just can't hold a candle to the other in over all look.

Wow, stud bull!
 
Don't have a better pic...lol, but this is the B&C World record shot by Bobby Hebert in 2015. It was almost dark so pics were bad, but he was a beast. He shot him a few weeks after we saw it. Don't know what his spread was off the top of my head but he was something else. I believe it was a Governors tag. He had a paid scout that was parked at the same trailhead we were using. Still shot it with Trad equipment. We actually saw more moose on that hunt than we saw elk. We hunted the same drainage for elk the next year and it was much the same.
