Did Sako fix ejection issue? Or they still recommend tall scope rings and small windage turret? Thanks
With perfect shot opportunity, yes. Do we always have one? Nope. Why risk wounding and possibly losing an animal.You sounded pretty knowledgeable up to this point. There is no reason a 6.5 CM shooting a good bullet, Nosler, Barnes, GMX ect., won't kill a moose out to 300 yards or so.
Which issue of Field and Stream is this opinion based on?Moose with 6.5 if only within 100 yards broadside
Luckily for you, math is the universal language.I’m ESL, don’t have time to read that.

I just researched the Winchester 70 ext. Ss
Looks fantastic. But how are the new winchesters reliability? And has anyone tried the new 70 tungsten with brake? Thanks
What?... Those two cartridges DO NOT make same ft-lbs. Looking at .45-70 for LeverRevolution FTX 325gr @2050 that's like 3K+ .243's are right around 2K.or popular and not so correct muzzle energy where main player is speed. 45-70 and 243 produce equal amount energy. So, in case of charging bear with what caliber you’ll be better off????
I understand you believe everything on internet. In real life who in the world will carry 45-70 in bush with 24 in barrel? (That’s a ballistics provide by hornady using 24 on barrel). For alaska 100500% more luckily regular Federal power shocks will be readily available in stores. Not fancy and expensive leverevolution.What?... Those two cartridges DO NOT make same ft-lbs.

Another vote for 30-06Anyone who thinks moose are hard to kill hasn’t shot any. They’re big but they give up easily. With a decent shot they go down right where you hit them ass first. In the event they run they never go far.
The hardest thing you mentioned to kill are elk and they’re easily killed with a 30-06. For example, here’s one I dropped instantly on a dead run at 360 yards.
If I had to go down to one gun it would be my kimber Montana in ‘06 and I would keep it loaded with a 165/168 on top of 52 grains of IMR 4064 at ~3000 FPS from a 24” barrel. That said this moose below was dropped with a 130 Barnes at 3350 FPS.
Hard to go wrong with a ‘06 but I’m pretty biased. The kimber at 6.5lbs scoped is always a pleasure to pack.
Long Story shorter I was merely checking your statement that they made the SAME energy. They don't. It's not far off from one another. Looks like 300-400ft-Lbs more. But, as I'm sure you know, even if they made the exact same energy... there's going to be more inertia to have to stop in that heavier projectile. Hence the reason people carry 'em for the critter with the 4"-5" diameter Humerus (upper arm bone).I understand you believe everything on internet.
