It's funny how everybody knows that wood stocks and blued steel don't work in Alaska. Everybody except Alaskans.
Cool gun and hunt, thanks!
Thanks. Yeah, I cut class the day they were teaching about synthetic stocks and stainless steel. Probably skipped that day to go huntin with my blued steel and walnut stocked rifle.
I've been weighing the idea of toying with my #1-S 9.3x74R in the hinterlands this fall for moose. That PRVI 285 RN in a blued steel rifle seems like a modern day oxymoron if there ever was one, but I don't see me ever moving that rifle, at least not until after, or shortly before my hands are dead and cold. A fleck or few on the gun won't be deal breakers if it happens.
(Or there;s the handy little #1-A 270 which is already pretty beat up, or I could use the also handy Model Seven in 358 Winchester hasn't a speck of wood or blued steel on it, or.....
) I may just come back here in a few weeks and give you some credit for the rust on my 9.3.....
