Get a 375 ruger and never look back. The 416 is just not needed if your quarry tops out at griz and moose.

A rifle for hunting Alaska Black Bear, Bou, Moose and of lucky to draw a Brown Bear tag one day? .375 Ruger, .375 H&H, .338 Win Mag, .416 Ruger Big Game. They have all been proven in the field and have done well and ammo is not very hard to come by on any of them.
Edited title I carried a .338WM in Alaska for a couple of decades and it did just fine. 250gr Partitions for everything except Sitka Blacktails on Kodiak, and I used 200gr Hornady FP loaded to ~2200fps for them. Ed

Edited title Of those that you listed the 338 win mag is the choice IMHO and experience. I lived and hunted in Alaska for 7 years and the 338 win mag never let me down for deer to grizz with moose and bou thrown in between. I even took my Dall Sheep with the 338 win mag With today's better bullets I would be content with my 30-06 loaded with TSX or TTSX bullets with nary a concern

I have had several .375 H&H rifles, over some 30 years and about a dozen .338WM rifles over the past almost 46 years and used other big bores. I also have five 9,3 bores, four x62 and one x74R.
My FIRST choice here, of what is listed, would be and is a .338WM, loaded with 250 NPs at 2750-2800 and 250 HILs, the same.
I have six fine rifles so chambered and nothing quite matches this round here in BC, in my almost 50 years of field experience.

I'd choose my Remington KS Alaskan Wilderness Rifle in .300 RUM with a 220gr Partition. Much lighter and easier to carry than my 375 H&H Sako and still has long range capability even better than a .338 Win Mag, with much less recoil.
JMHO. I chose the rifle I wanted first, & then the Caliber.
But in answer to the OP's original question, if I had to choose form the calibers he listed? I'd take the Ruger Hawkeye in a .375 Ruger. That rifle / caliber Combo ought to be the perfect choice for an all around Alaska Bear & Moose gun.

Boy, I have read SOME bullsh!t in my life, but, this "bcd" weirdo takes the freakin' CAKE!!!
NO, moron, the old .338-275 Speer is NOT ...the best..., in fact, it is a mediocre bullet and not even close to the 250 NP, 250SAF or several other, lighter, premium bullets available for the .338 bore.
Only, a congenital imbecile would post that this is what made the 6.5 Swede great as there is NO relationship, other than they are both rifle cartridges. GAWD, you are SO stupid and azzholian in all aspects of your miserable presence here, GO AWAY, NOW!!!
BTW, I was carrying a big bore rifle every day, all day, as a part of my employment in BC, long before YOU were even a gleam in your father's eye, one which turned to a look of horror at your parturition, no doubt. You should be permanently made a "guest at Her Majesty's pleasure" at your local looneybin!

In case anyone it paying attention here, the 375 Ruger has made huge inroads in the Alaskan market and for good reasons. They made lightweight, handy, reliable and powerful rifles like this 7 1/2 pound one my daugher uses when she is guiding ![[Linked Image]](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk168/Grizskins/Proisphoto_zpsa3f7b6ba.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk168/Grizskins/DanandTia_zpsc25b47b5.jpg) I even have a few years of using them myself, and this hunter thought his was perfect ![[Linked Image]](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk168/Grizskins/lons07044.jpg)
