[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 235004, member: 505"] Basically the 338 RUM, 338-300 RUM that some on here call edge, and the 340 wby are all so close there is not a lot of difference and either will do what you want in Alaska. In this performance range you can go with a factory rifle at much less cost and should be fine. If you want to step it up to the next level then get a wby accumark 338-378 wby and then you are at the top of the performance spectrum in a hunting weight rifle. It will easily outperform any of the ones mentioned here. The accumark is a very good rifle but you must way the extra cost when you can get a 338 RUM for much less. To me the accumark is well worth the extra cost both in velocity and overall performance when you consider an action that is the strongest for a big cartridge, great trigger, and is long enough to seat your bullets out a bit. Several other things make the accumark a lot more gun than the lesser priced ones. A custom is not neccesary unless you just want to go that route. I guarantee I could take Roy's factory 338RUM and be happy in Alaska or anywhere else with it. [/QUOTE]
