I have one in .30-06. I would like to aquire one in 7Mag and .300 mag. Maybe .243 as well. They are fun guns to shoot but I have not shot mine enough to know about its reliability. Someday I will get around to it.
As far as an Alaska hunt, everything should be fine. How will you feel if it does encounter a feeding problem and you miss an opportunity on your animal? Seems a bolt gun, if you had one and were comfortable with it, would be a wise choice. If not, have at it. Odds are good that nothing will go wrong. Clean it good and proper before you go.
