[QUOTE="Speedo, post: 1104220, member: 27223"] Good choice for the rifle and a lot of good comments on bullet selection, one more thing that I would consider that no one has mentioned is that there are other critters to consider. If you're hunting in Alaska you're hunting in bear country. While the chances of needing to use your rifle to ward off a bear encounter are slim it is still a possibility. I have lived and hunted in Alaska for nearly 50 years and the only time I have been charged by bears is when I've had to go anchor a wounded bear that someone else had wounded, did that twice. One of my hunting partners did have to shoot a bear that charged and it dropped at his feet, that one was an interior griz that squared 8'. A well constructed bullet that will work on bears will do a nice job on moose. I personally like the 200 gr. Swift A-Frame. Gus [/QUOTE]
