Rockdoc: Alaska is indeed hard on guns AND equipment!
I have Hunted Alaska four times for Mt. Goat and Black Bear.
I only used one of my pre-64 Winchesters on one of those Hunts - lesson learned I guess.
I went to fiberglass stocks on common Rifles (Remingtons) after that lesson.

Thanks Beretsz for the photo's.
