I'm giving you more answers than you have questions, and I apologize for that. But, let me offer a sincere suggestion.

I shoot a .300 Win. Mag. for everything I've ever hunted with a rifle besides rodents. This would include coyotes, antelope, wolf, whitetails, muledeer, caribou, elk & moose. It's comforting when you might accidently get too close to a grizz, though then it seems small. When I hunt plains game in Africa in about 10 years, this is the only rifle I'm taking. I ask it to do a lot and it does it all. It would be easy for me to tell you that you should get one too.

But, since you already have a 7 Mag. and you're looking for another rifle for just moose and elk, if I were you I'd get a .338 Win Mag. and keep the 7 mag for everything else.

If you don't want a magnum, howabout a .338 Federal or .35 Whelen.
