I too inherited a Win 88/308. My Dad bought it through Canex up in Cold Lake in the mid 70's. He bought for moose hunting and since lefty bolt actions were rare the lever 88 fit his needs and the fact that at the time the 7.62mm was the Std NATO ctg at the time for the FN C1/C2 he knew of its capabilities.
He never got a moose or a deer with it, but whilst on a moose hunt he bagged 3 Ruffed grouse with it, his hunting partners weren't too amused as they thought he was firing three shots at a moose.....
I was finally able to kill a moose with it 2yrs ago
. My Go To rifle even though I have many others.
Enjoy every bit of yours
