Buy and bring as many rifles in 30/06, 35 Whelen and 9.3X62 as you can. You will be able to sell them for a profit if you are here before hunting season. There is a dearth of really good used rifles up here because we buy and competitively go for the same rifles that folks bring up. There should be more big CRF rifles in gunshops and pawnshops in the L48 than up here.
That being said, I haven't seen as many 9.3X62 rifles as the other choices. Maybe they have a bunch down in SE Alaska but other than Bud Conkle and Bill Etchells. I taught with a shop teacher who had a 9.3X74 Drilling but I haven't seen or even heard of other hunters using the 9.3X62. But what do I know, they might be super popular in Anchorage.
I know that hunters from the L48 bring them up but they generally take them with them when they leave. I have personally seen more 505 Gibbs and 500 Jefferies rifles than the 9.3X62.
