How about the best of both?:

A scout scoped Browning 1895 carbine, chambered in a 41 caliber "whelenesque" wildcat? High BC, 350 grain A-frames sptizers at 2400 fps. That's 50,000+ psi territory. It makes easy work of a 300 yd shot through 30 mph winds on caribou, and hits hard like a 458 cal on bears up close. Just another one of them thar Alaskan concoctions hodge-podged together in Alaska:
