Quote: Actually, the .30-30 has been used in Alaska for a long time along the .30-06. The .30-06 was the big kid in the block back then, then in 1958 The Alaskan was introduced. The .338WM started slow, but it built a reputation to match its name, and nowadays it's very popular up here. ---------------- This is from the NRA's January 2001 issue, American Hunter: "The Alaska Department of Fish & Game hunter safety staff in Anchorage tallied the big game rifles sighted at the Rabbit Creek rifle range for the 1999 hunting season. The top three cartridges were the .30-06 (21%), .300 Win. Magnum (19%), and the .338 Win. Magnum (18%). These were followed by the 7mm Rem. Magnum (9%), .375 H&H Magnum (6%), .270 (6%), .308 (4%), and .300 Wby. Magnum (4%), .45-70 (1%), .280 (1%), and a host of others, including many wildcats. Comparable data are not available for hunters who live in the bush." --------------- The .30-30 is not on that list, but mainly beacause people grab other guns to go moose hunting. However, back at home lots of people have .30-30's in their gun cabinets. | ||
