my new blaser is pretty close to a 280. Hopefully i'll have it at the range next weekend. There are a lot of choices for those 7mm bullets.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I would love to hunt Canada moose with an original Model 71 winchester in .348.

You read my mind!  That's #2 on my list..

Model 88 Winchester in .358 is my top choice.  Between my Dad, Grandpa, and I we have every caliber of 88, Pre and Post-64's as well as the carbine's, except the .358.

Closer and closer all the time. Might get to take her off the "want to hunt with" list tomorrow.
