=By the way Marinehawk... if I was tinking my beloved 338 WMG was not optimum I would buy a 416 or 458 but anyway If I had to buy a 375 it wouldn't be a Weatherby... it's not a optimum 375... from my point of view the best designed 375 is the RUGER... Marinehawk you should yes get the optimum 375 by buying a 375 RUGER and yes, I'll agree with you... Marinehawk you have the optimum 375... nevertheless I wish you a very good hunt this fall (nice weather and a huge bear). Where are you going in which unit in Kodiak (I think) ?
I never said what I hunted with was an "optimum." If you don't like the opinion that the .375 Wby is "optimum," please find someone who actually has said that to attack. I never said it. It's what I bought before my last hunt and used. The 375 Ruger possibly is just as good or better for the most part. I never said anything bad about the .375 Ruger. I don't own one. I'm going to the same place as before, not Kodiak, about 120 mi. north of Dillingham.
Hello Marine, I have nothing against you. I was just trying to demonstrate than all of us were acting like teenagers... Maybe my 3rd degree was too much...
anyway... to be honest before the 375 Ruger was designed, I was looking at the 375 Why like the best/optimum 375. Hopefully for you you're not a fan of the 378 Why cause I would have dig you in a hole.... Your 1st bear is a great bear.... it's what I think... so relax....UNIT 17/19 drainage. Wish you a safe and a very good hunt. post pictures.
Thanks UAE. I haven't shot a .378 Wby, though I have nothing against it, and it's just a bit faster than my .375, as the .375 Wby is a little faster than the H&H. It's all good. I got pretty lucky last time, as the weather got strangely warm for the last eight days of my 10-day hunt after my lucky kill. The animals were all mostly sleeping it off after that during the daytime. Hopefully, I will see a good bear or moose this time, but life is what it is, and I will enjoy just the chance to hunt in such a remote environment for such great game. That's what makes it so great: the possibility of failure. The last time, when I was flying out of the Dillingham airport, I was one of two hunters out of about 40, who had gotten a bear during that season. I had dreamed of hunting brown bear since I was a small child. I realized then, more than ever, how lucky I was. I am slightly more interested in moose this time, but I mostly want to have the chance to hunt in AK, which isn't easy for me. I got to see the Northern Lights while drinking bourbon and smoking a cigar at a driftwood campfire just a few yards from my bear pelt last time. I am looking forward to whatever happens this time.
