Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 8x57 for moose/bears??

I just got my 1951 Brno 21H 8x57 back from the gunsmith with a new NECG bolt shroud and M70 style safety installed. Can't wait to take it out and shoot it, I think it will get some exercise on elk or moose this fall. The traditional 198 gr. bullet at 2500 fps should do the trick. On second thought, spring bear season comes in a couple months...
