Hello Sir Greg, I do envy you for that rifle. Always loved the full stock styer's looks and handling almost bought a zastava like it but couldn't get past the way the bolt rattles. Our moose hunts are almost too messed up to even bother with anymore here in Ontario (sick of the government cash grab for everything our forefathers got for free). Now something more optimistic I'm down to 225 from 260 trying to match you weight loss. Best of luck for moose as I didn't go this year so I'm living vicariously thru your you tube hunting venture.
I'm a 348 fan but I understand the move to a bolt rifle with an illuminated reticle. Your 71 winchester and the Steyr 9.3x62 are both outstanding. I won't think less of you for using a bolt rifle but you should look into putting a micro dot on the 71. I like my 348's a lot and recently acquired a BLR takedown that's grown on me. Probably the best pure hunting bolt rifle I have is an little Ruger 338RCM compact rifle. It's like your Steyr in that it's got good irons, 20" barrel, and it pushes 200 and 225gr bullets out of its compact form at good speeds. It's the best.
Nice rifle for sure in a great caliber!! Got my moose on Tuesday evening at 106m from camp with my Ruger no1 S 9.3x62 with 286gr nosler partition over some IMR4166 coming out at around 2400fps!
I also really love a good lever gun. But I also really love a good bolt gun with classic lines such as your Steyr. Especially in the Mannlicher (full stock) configuration.
Kia Ora from NZ. What are your iron sights set for?.I'd be interested to know. I have the same styer in 30.06 & I agree with you. Very nice rifle and relatively light gun for lugging around. Thanks. Tatou Nga mihi Best regards Chris
I’ve had very good success with the Speer bullets in 338 and 358 calibers. I’ve found they penetrate as good as any and haven’t had any fail yet. Nice looking rifle.
Good guality riffle .There is so much riffle for one man.Maybe the next man too .🍗Here i enjoy your pick(ing). Take good care of that fullstock riffle .👍👍👍
What a amazing rifle. Don't see many of them or the caliber here in the usa 🇺🇲 9.3x62 never got a following. Great European 🇪🇺 big game caliber for big game . Same .35 caliber never realy made big move get some love here in the east still see lot 35rems and 35 whaling
You can put a red dot on your 71 Winchester It seems to work fairly good and low light, might look weird but it’s really small not much bigger than the receiver mounted Peepsight, obviously you’re not gonna have time to do all that right now
Nice that the inexpensive Speer bullet punches way above its weight class. Practice sessions are affordable! 🤑 🍺 Here's hoping your election is fraud-free.

I'll do what I can. Gotta get over the election somehow!
Nice shooting Greg and a well thought out combination of rifle, round, loading and optic.

how did it work for you?
@@north61 it worked great, one bullet and hit the ground in its tracks! I’ve never seen a moose dropped that quick!
@@davidgendron1953 Something about the mid bores that really lays a hurt on the moose.

Love this channel! I live and enjoy the same interests in northern, Ontario. Cheers! Keep them coming.
Thanks for the positive message. Will do my best!

I'll check for you.
My favorite moose caliber!
Love the potato-canon 9.3x62, mellow, but authoritative. Enjoy the hunt! May it be successful!

The 250 Speer Hotcore has worked really well to 2500fps. Speeded up more it can come apart.
@@north61 I’ve run them up to 2700 at the muzzle in my 338 Federal with good success but velocity at the target will be lower.

I love that rifle and scope setup!

Yes I have that mount but the Burris Fast Fire 2 didn't prove to be very rugged for me.
Nice rifle and scope setup eh👍

Hammer of Thor right there! 😁😁
Are the moose in your backyard or are you going to have to hunt them up?
Going on a bit of a canoe trip.
Sweet rifle!
It sure is!
Quite interesting.
I know that range!!!
