The 375 Ruger is a lighter rifle than any 375 H&H rifle for all day carry. It has the same or slightly better ballistics. The Alaskan model is stainless steel for the damp weather up there. Then the 35 Whelen followed by the 30-06. The 338 Win Mag is ok, but it's ballistics aren't as good as the 375 for big bears and moose. I have a 35 Whelen and a 30-06 so there is that.
