340
"...and cleaning with a can of WD40,..."
I guarantee you a ruined Alaska hunt if you keep that up. WD-40 has no use in gun cleaning and the gum it builds will catch you sooner or later...
"...several ELK HUNTS..."
What, is that supposed to be tough for a rifle to handle? As argument I lose where that means anything. Also, I pointed to a rifle with hundreds of times more time afield in far worse conditions functioning perfectly. Not all A-Bolts fail immediately around saltwater... Just enough to make them a poor choice, IME&O, with far more than 3 hunts behind one...
