I would take the .300 my friend made the mistake taking his 375 Ruger few years ago didnt have the range and wounded a moose. Easily would of had it with his 7mm. Moose are not hard to kill just take a bit to fall over with their large lungs.

The tikka is blued? I wouldn't take that on a float hunt.

Either rifle is fine, although the 300wm is wildly overscoped.

Barring the rust issue, bring the one you're most accurate with. Personally both rifles are wild overkill in cambering, but the 375 ruger is a little more cool.

The gun didn’t have the range? Or your buddy didn’t have the skill/practice with that rifle to make a good shot???

Yeah, both are overkill….he should take a 223.
