[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2875924, member: 126985"] I'd pick a factory rifle in 300 Win mag for hunting out west, & Alask...when it goes over board crossing a river ya don't lose much, or a horse rolls on it.... and 300 Win Mag ammo is everywhere. I use a 338, & 350 mags ...but the 300 Win mag has more than enough power at reasonable ranges. Back in the day Jack O'Connor killed everything in Alaska with a 270 Win and 130 gr bullets including interior Grizzly, when larger animals were readily available... With a factory Win model 70, and his preferred custom walnut stock. Elk and moose are large animals with a big target area...nothing custom needed, unless you want. One Alaska famous coastal Grizzly guide will go into the brush, after a clients wounded grizzly armed with an opensighted factory Model 70 30-06 and 220 grain bullets...a 30-06 caliber is standard for bear protection, it kills Polar, grizzlies, & black bear where they are a nuisance...fishing guides hand out 12 gauge shotguns, when dropping clients in the wilderness.
