[QUOTE="Kentuckywindage, post: 2746379, member: 119330"] I met an Alaskan guide who I worked with late 90's early 2000. He was a paramedic. Had a grizzly on casters, Doll sheep mount, wolf etc. He didn't have to say much more than do you want to go next trip, for me to get excited and say yes. Asking his preference of weapon in the years living there, (born and raised there) he said, "Ruger 77 stainless in 300 Win. Mag., a good 3-4 x whatever power by 50, bikini scope cover and sling will do everything needed." There are better, lots with less recoil than that lightweight rifle but carrying it will be more torturous if heavy than 1 or 3 recoil. So I chose the rifle he specified. It shot exceptional by what others had said about the rifle. Under moa. reliably and consistently. The trip we did not get to make as a very very nasty divorce was dropped into his lap a short time after my rifle purchase. Life happens and we just roll with it if possible. [/QUOTE]
