I am pleased to say that after 15 years of trying I have finally been selected for the 2015 Maine Moose Hunt.
I want to purchase a new hunting rifle for this hunt. I have a budget of 1,000 dollars. This budget will include the firearm, scope and mounts.
Because this rifle will be used for hunting I will have to carry it for great distances so weight is going to be a concern. Although most shots while hunting in my area are within 100 yards I would like to be able to accurately shoot out to 300 yds at the range.

Summary:
Looking For New Hunting Rifle
Hunting Large Game (Moose, Deer)
Budget 1,000 dollars All Inclusive
Needs to be Light Weight
Accurate to 300+ yds

Need Suggestions, Caliber, Brand etc...
Please share any reviews (Good or Bad) you have on big game hunting rifles you own...

Thanks Guys
