Mike,i wouldn't go that far,each member can attend or not,the firing line and unaka are not the place to hold a meeting,Unaka is limited on space and the firing line is not the place to hold meetings.
Yes,i have attended a very intense meeting there a few years ago,it worked but shooters were...
It seems to me a .338 win mag would be the all around rifle for alaska,but i like my 30:06,bullets from 110 grains to 220 grains will take about anything in north America,of course,i would take the .338 for the big bears.
Butch,they work just fine,i have rebated rims on 6mm ackley,.243 and 6.5x57AI to fit ppc bolt faces and .222 bolt face and have not had a problem.
I grind my tool to fit.
Pete,i have one almost like it,i'll get it out and shoot it,mine was an unissued rifle,new barrel and receiver.
I put the origional wood on it and have not fired it yet,had it 20 years.

Good man,he will be missed.

I have seen some shoot very good,i had one,bedded it and free floated the barrel,with eley 10-x ultimate eps,it would shoot .2 at 50 yards.
There are several shooters with them at our club,they perform pretty well against custon rifles and 40x's and anchutz.
