I only have and use one big game rifle (Ruger .338WM), but all I have hunted in Alaska is moose. Maybe I have been lucky, since I have never missed a shot with it, except for this moose season. But then, a friend of mine missed a shot with his one-gun battery 7mm Magnum
Maybe I am wrong, of course, but I figure that if one has only one hunting rifle, one has a good chance to become more proficient with that rifle. Regardless of being good or bad with it, nothing guarantees that one is going to have a moose standing out there, broadside and waiting to be shot, so maybe it's just good luck (?).
Then there is the possibility that one or more rifles makes no difference. Not everyone is a good shot, regardless of how many rifles one has. Besides, how good of a shot a moose hunter should be when most shots are taken within 100-150 yards? I know a guy who calls his moose around 30-50 yards, sometimes closer. He uses a .45-70 with iron sights.
