I bought the Alaskan over the SE. I felt that it handled better than the SE as there is less weight (not by much, however) and the center of mass is a little more forward. The SE is cool and has a barrel mounted sling point, however. I have a CZ and it is just too heavy for a 375 to my mind. My Alaskan has very plain wood, but I don't care as long as it is reliable. ymmv
