mainer, you got some valid points and i do share your admiration for the 9.3x62.........but brother im sweet on the 375.......truth is im quite certain i could have gotten all the critters ive ever gotten with a plain ole 06......probably could have gotten more.....cuase i would have had a better tent, better pack, and better boots with all the money i would have saved.......spent 5 yrs in the fairbanks area, went through about 35 rifles.....but the 2 i liked best were a pre barrel band ruger alaskan in 375 ruger, and an m70 ewss in 300 wm...the ruger round in the winchester and about a 1 lb lighter wouldve been perfect


we ride at dawn
