Murphy's law; what can go wrong will go wrong. You spend a lot of $$ and burn vacation time to hunt in BEAUTIFUL Alaska, a real privlege. Borrow or buy (used ?) a bolt gun. My Ruger stainless .338 bolt has been on 4 prior Alaska hunts and I know it won't let me down. Failing that, keep yur Brwoning clean, clean, clean. Hope this helps/ Chaz
