[QUOTE="cbb, post: 594080, member: 35707"] Hope you have a great time! These are just things I would consider. Hope they may be helpful to you. Topography- if you are in the flat tundra- ranging can be difficult. It may limit your ability to range really far. Flat, bumpy, squishy tundra is hard to walk on for some. How far from camp are you willing to pack the gun and your trophy? If you have some small rises and ridges, they can be more rocky (like gravel) and you can go forever. How far are you willing to pack? Not as common, but mountains or steeper stuff by some rivers could be encountered. Your pilot may be able to give you some info as to how far most hunt from camp. Also how far other camps are to you. That can limit your desire to travel as well. The weather is just unpredictable- sunny, calm, snow, fog, wind, rain. You could get one of those conditions or all of them. I would try to get an idea of how for I might travel and decide if the weight of the gun would make a difference to me. I would then bring my best long range gun in that weight. My max range is then more likely to limited by conditions rather than what I was packing. I almost forgot. The weight you are allowed to fly out (assuming you are flying) could also be a factor. [/QUOTE]
