My main hunting rifle is an O/U express rifle with quick detachable scope, and a set of 20 gauge barrels for flying things such ducks and geese.
I also have a Ruger single shot that leeper built in .303 British.
The express rifle is chambered in 6.5X55, and I wouldn't hesitate taken it for moose with 160 grain bullets.
I've killed them with a '96 mauser with no problem, and have no need for a belted magnum.....
