Mainer, thanks for sharing your AK hunting stories and information about the old 9.3. Interesting that two of your favorites are mine as well. I have a CZ 550 with kevlar stock that I bought several years ago for hunting elk in dark timber in CO, and hogs in OK. I also have a 358 Win (Ruger M77) that I too use more than any other rifle I own. This past Nov. it took a small mulie in South Dakota. I hand load and have had my best results accuracy-wise using NP's in both rifles (286 gr. for 9.3 and 225 gr. in the 358).

I doubt I will ever have an opportunity to hunt in AK as age is quickly catching up with me but, I sure like reading the chronicles of those who have. Thanks again for sharing.


Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
