458 So cool you are doing the big Nan re-creation. Please post photos. I was not aware he went through six stocks, his book mentioned three. I would love to see photos of the original, the repro and the 358. I keep thinking about reaming my 375 to the Weatherby round but why mess with perfection?
In my previous post I meant the 9.3x62 I would skip the 9.3x64 and go straight to the 375 H&H.
Not from Alaska but spent two seasons guiding fly fisherman and some hunting. Came close to needing to shoot a bear about six times. When they are close enough to smell and are popping their jaws it's time to train whatever you've got on whatever is the most vital shot possible. Never had to shoot one but came close to needing new skivy's a couple of times.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
