[QUOTE="Speedo, post: 952899, member: 27223"] While you might be heading out after moose or caribou there are other critters that one is somewhat likely to encounter in Alaska and a 6.5 is not what I would want in my hands if you should encounter a griz while going after a moose. For that reason I prefer to use .30 caliber or larger for moose and caribou. AkRyan, I don't know where you hunt and I won't ask but if you're hunting above treeline the long range shooting really starts to look like a good option. My wife is my number one hunting partner and she does most of her hunting with a 300 saum and has shot a couple grizzlies with it. Gus [/QUOTE]
