CougarzI don't own one, instead I have the Sarari Express. But if I had to do it again I may have chosen the Alaskan. It's a little lighter and slimmer. Overall nice rifle.

buckeyeshooterI have my one on this one too! Lighter, less bulky and a 25 inch barrel.

Ray BI have a 1960 M70 Alaskan that's my permit bull elk rifle- but I don't know how it compares to the newer M70s.

DoglegI've got one in .375. It weighs a count le
Ounces less than one of my feather weights in 270 Win and
A bit more than another. Maybe
8 1/4 lbs with a leupold 3.5-10. I don't know
where the published weight comes from.
I find it to handle like a deer rifle, nothing like the Safari express that I have in .458 Lott. With the lighter weight I actually feel like carrying it even hunting where there's no earthly reason for a .375.
There's some pictures of it in the .375s under 2000 thread.

WBTI have one of the newer ones in .30-06. I haven't shot it much, but I'm able to get 1" groups with factory Norma ammo. I imagine that could be improved upon with handloading.
thats what i been thinking about , one in 30-06. So it sounds like they are not as heavy as the advertised weight
