Greetings from Alaska

[Olypopper]

Found this site while searching for CZ 550 scope rings......heading to Africa one of these days when I get tired of chasing moose, bears and buffalo.

Nice site and good manners seem to be the norm. I appreciate the info I've already gotten from this site.

Welcome! Yes, lot's of great hunting info to be found here and your observation of good manners being the norm is spot on.

Welcome, it's pretty hard to beat the Alaskan bush and I don't know if you can get tired of chasing any of them! Might want to plan a trip to Africa just to relax though.
Enjoy the Forum,
Cody

It varies.......my favorite rifle is my FN PBR chambered in .308 Win. I've taken bears, caribou and just last Saturday, my biggest bull moose with that rifle. I've got a .458 Socom (Tromix) and it's a dandy for bears. Packs lots of thump up close.

My two rifles that have been acquired for a trip to Africa are a CZ 550 in .458 Win mag and a Ruger No.1 chambered in .416 Rigby........I may bring one of those to Kodiak for my browny hunt.

Olypopper I do like that number one!

Welcome to AH!

....wonder what that socom would be like on wooden floating objects......

Welcome to AH! Was just looking at .375 Ruger Alaskan for moose/grizzly hunt.

 

[Olypopper]

.375 Ruger would be an excellent choice for anything on the North American continent.

....wonder what that socom would be like on wooden floating objects......

Not too sure......it was originally intended for two legged critters that had a nasty habit of continuing to live after being hit with 5.56 (suppressed). Even in sub sonic loads the little Socom has enough wallop to turn out the lights and keep them out.
