[QUOTE="ForneyRider, post: 397758, member: 22519"] I used 7mm Mag for all my Alaskan hunting, my dad used 375H&H. The H&H has a lot of drop for long shots for caribou in the plains and goats on the mountain. So a RUM would be great. 338 Win Mag was probably the most common for over 30 caliber cartridges. A long tube would not be fun for going through thick stuff or getting in a bush plane or boat. That's why the 45/70 lever guns are popular, but they won't reach out on the caribou or goats/Dall sheep. Lugging a heavy gun up and down the mountains is not fun. For a do-all Alaska gun, I highly recommend stainless steel metal and fibreglass stock. A tight fitting and durable scope with low 2-4x power, but 9-16x high end power zoom. I like the WSM and RUM over the traditional belted mags for more reliable feeding. [/QUOTE]
