Currently, after 5 years of owning shotguns, I can get a rifle license. Rifle me only necessary for hunting (rare - for the shooting range).

The main dilemma is which caliber to choose. The most common in Russia are 308 Win and 30.06 Spr. What is typical caliber used for such purposes in US?

Both .308 and .30-06 are good hunitng cartridges for moose.
I am a little surprised that those cartridges are popular in Russian. I assumed that Russian or European cartridges would be most popular.
