One other thing. On my 2nd Alaska hunt I was going to use a 45-70. Common sense prevailed and it's well it did. I shot a Moose at about 45 yards. That would have been right in the 45-70's wheel house. But, the Grizzly I shot was right at about 300 yards. Last day, getting dark and if I wanted one, that was the shot. I wouldn't have taken that shot with a 45-70. My 300 Weatherby killed him with 1 shot.
Just things to consider for a non-resident.
