If you were about to start a life in Alaska...

I have no idea what that is. I’m glad my job isn’t to have your preferred rifles on hand.

Beautiful gun! The shotgun is over the rifle unlike the old Savage 42 and 24 rifle over shotgun.

I'm wondering why the switch?

 

[RickN]

I would prefer a 30.06 but more ammo. Or 10 lbs of ammo plus reloading supplies.

 

[Louro]

I’ll play. My choices would be between my Blaser BBF97 12 ga over 308 combo gun or my Blaser R93 with a 9.3x62 and 270 Win barrels, and I’d probably take the combo gun. My scope choice for either gun would be a Swarovski Z6 1.7-10 with an illuminated reticle.

Will you have a cappuccino machine too? Just kidding. Blaser are some good guns.

 

[GlockPride]

I’d do what any sensible Alaskan would do: I’m bringing a .338win mag. Suppressed of course with a top end scope.

 

[jakeman]

.22 Mag and a slow buddy to sacrifice to the bear.

 

[BillM]

30.06 Remington 700 3x9 scope with a high power bino or spotting scope.

One of my step-fathers was a guide in Alaska in the 50s or earlier. Told about a guy who was using a 30-06 semi-auto Remington rifle (740?) to hunt Grizz. Shot one about 200 yards away. Repeatedly. Reloaded and did it again, twice more as the bear charged him. Bear killed him before it died. I love the 30-06 cartridge, though I prefer bolt-action rifles myself. 1903 Springfields, not Remingtons, but I want a 12ga. slug gun with an extended mag for backup in such a situation. I've had arthritis since I was 17, so Alaska has never really been a possibility for me, but I sure considered it back before then. I was 10, in 1965, when he told me this story, so I may have misremembered, lost, or exaggerated details including distance over the years since.

I’m more of a Folgers guy than a cappuccino fan.
About 20 years ago, Dad’s company was the US reps for Blaser for a short time, and when they got ready to sell their samples, I bought my first Blaser R93 at a cut rate price. I didn’t know much about them and found a Blaser message board. Long story short, I used to hang out with a lot of Blaser enthusiasts and bought, sold, and traded Blaser stuff for many years. My last “Blaser friend” died last September, and my interest has faded in the platform as my friend group and hunting situation has changed. I’m considering selling out my R93 stuff and just keeping my combo gun.

Found this online.
Below is the average weight of 100 rounds of different types of bullets, using the most common grain for each:

Caliber	Bullets per lb	lbs per 100 bullets
.22 LR	175	0.57
9 mm	56	1.77
.308 Win.	42	2.36
.223 Rem.	127	0.78
12 Ga.	18	5.47
0.45 ACP	30	3.28
0.38 spec.	53	1.88
.30-06	46	2.14
.30-30	41	2.42
7 mm	38	2.57
0.40 S&W	42	2.35

Not sure how accurate it is and it does not specify the load.

But 10 lbs a year that would be more than 1 shot per day for the above rifles.

A grizzle bear can be killed with a .22 LR look that up.
Boils down to shot placement again.

I love my 18" .308 and 420 rounds a year should get you by.
But I also love my .223 Savage axis. and I could shoot a bear in the nostril or eye ball with either rifle.
A Charging bear is a different game though.

I should have said 2lbs of ammo to make it more interesting.

 

[swampratt]

2 lbs of ammo I am taking my .223 bolt gun.
