Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Browning 1895 Scout Rifle Project

Finally got around to using the 41 scabbard scout for moose. Traveled quite a few miles up a swift upper Yukon River tributary. Real sparse, won't hunt there again. Finally called one into a spike camp at the dimmest first light on the 19th. About 80 yards cross river, I put a 350 grain a-frame square through the front end. He was downed instantly. He did come back to about 10-15 minutes later when I walked up on him, but couldn't move. Very big bodied, 55.75" antler spread. Never cleaned the rifle the whole 10 days.

The load was a benchrest large rifle primer, resized lapua 9.3x62 brass, 61 grains of AA 2230 under a 350 swift A-frame. Broke through both front quarter bones and both ribs, against hide on offside.
