Completed by a gunsmith friend of mine long past. Its a beauty to shoot Pat

I have hunted moose in BC on and off for over forty years and have taken somewhere in the area of 30 bulls. I have used from 3006 , 300WM, 9.3x62, 376 Steyr, 45-70 and 375H&H; at ranges from 30 yards to 500. A couple of things to keep in mind. If you are going to be hunting in BC or Alberta, you...

as do I :-) Nice for island deer here, distances are short. Regards Pat

Hi John, lending them to Rob, but when hes done Ill let you know. And I've not had to much issue getting stuff back and forth across the border, some times they get held up in customs for a week or so. But they do show up. Regards Pat
