    WANT TO BUY AIRLINE APPROVED BOW CASE

    I will side with TJ on this one. SKb is the best way, key lockable and skb will insure what ever is inside
  9. Hello, I am giving you some advice on your question. 33win mag is the caliber to use. I spent seven years chasing The wild Game of the Last Frontier. Truth be told you can take just about anything up there with a 264 win mag, however this does not include the Coastal Brown Bear or known as the Kodiak Bear. Interior bears don't get as much fish as coastal bears, so yes they are big but they are not the bears on steroids with muscle and fat every where. During my time spent there, There came a time when I wanted to purchase a large magnum rifle. I asked about the 300's, the guides that I asked said leave them at home. All around 338 win mag is the best cartridge you can buy, Why? If you find yourself in a predicament and needing more ammo because some freak raft flip or plane issues, nearly every store in the bush carries 338 win mag ammunition. My best friend's dad drew his last Kodiak tag about 4 years ago. A little older, he chose to take his 300 win mag. We tried to talk him out of it but he insisted on it. Long story short, He killed a bruin that squared 9' 6". Killed him at 20 yds in a 30mph wind storm. The bullet entered the neck and the bear dropped. They never found the bullet. If I was you and would not accept any 338 that does not have a Mauser action. That is why the Ruger M77 Hawkeye is the best. Now if you can pic it up in stainless great, but not a big deal if you cant. Some people say synthetic is the way to go, but does not really matter unless your hunting in environments that posses at least 85% to 95% humidity. When you go synthetic you make your rifle a little more lighter and with a 338 win mag, not something you want to be light on. Next your bullet selection is the second most important thing. Stay away from Nosler Partitions. Hornady has great ammunition and so does Federal. Federal makes the round in 225 or 250 with or with out the Barnes triple shock. Hornday has the 225 or 250 grn. Interlock and the SST. They next thing they have which would be the best is 250 grn. round nose bullet. The interlock and sst have a more streamline design to allow for a better flight at longer distances. Your shots at an Alaska Bruin can be at 20 paces or out to 300 yds., but most of the time if conditions and terrain allows: 150 yds or closer. If you have any more questions feel free to write me back. I may have said things that you knew, but when I lived there for 7 years I was able to do a lot with a tank of gas and the purchase of the resident license not to mention the resident tags. I truly am passionate and very grateful at my time spent there. On the other side of things I know what the expenses entail and when you spend that much money, It is paramouhnt to have the best rifle with the best cartridge to put that nice ten foot salmon eatin', trail blazin', protein gorged Bruin rug on your wall.
