[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 392903, member: 505"] I have a 338 rum XCR rifle. It shoots 4"-5" groups at 750 yards with 225 grain accubonds at 3264 fps. Shot a big bull elk with it last year at 740 yards. I think it is an excellent choice for Alaska hunting. About ten years ago I was stalked by a polar bear for about 3 miles. I had a 300 wby in my hand because it was very light to carry while hiking compared to my big 338's. I felt very undergunned and wished I had one of my big 338's. The 338's have way more knock down power than the 30's and anything smaller is not in the ballpark. I mean true knock down power from actual results and not what you may read on a ballistics chart.
