[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1640482, member: 31264"] I went looking for your 50 Alaskan and couldn't find it. The best I could find that is commonly called a 50 Alaskan is a wildcat cartridge developed by Harold Johnson and Harold Fuller of the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska in the 1950s. Johnson based the cartridge on the .348 Winchester in order to create a rifle capable of handling the large bears in Alaska. Frankly, I can't in good conscience recommend building or buying a bench rifle built on a 50 caliber of any case size. It simply won't be competitive no matter how much you spend on it. I assumed you wanted it for dangerous game and accuracy was secondary. In that scenario I'd probably want a bolt repeater with no scope! For that purpose, it is the opposite. I can't imagine anything better than a huge 50 anything! [/QUOTE]
