Thanks Paul. I was pretty sure it was a Mauser but wasn't sure what model. He's taking a bunch more pics for me at the moment so I can post some more in a bit. He wants $450 for it including the scope, Vari-X 2, so it may be a decent deal.

There's a .257 Roberts posted for sale locally but the seller, and I, isn't sure who the manufacturer is. Looks almost like something for/from the Venezuelan army. Anyone have any idea? I figured someone around on here would for sure know.

I'm hoping they give out 5K again to make it so. With the herd level as it is I figure they will. I was going to do the Tier 2 registration but with the possibility of higher odds, and not really wanting to limit myself to moose in 13 only, I'm going to try for the draw again. Of course come...
Good work Hodge. Up in 13 I'm guessing? Hoping to draw that tag next year and work up a load for my 6mm for it. Congratulations!

Thanks Doc. Slaughtered the pigs last month so it was time to get these done for the year. Sausage is next month when I get a day. Dinner's at 6:30 but it's King Salmon off the grill. Sorry, I like to let the hams and such mellow a few days. I feel they taste better. Cmon over though, plenty of...
Bear sausage is awesome. I mix a little home grown pork fat in with it but the brats and Italians I made last year were a hit. Bear ham is a favorite of mine as well. More flavorful than a straight pork one.... especially when you shoot them off the mountain and they've been eating blueberries...
Was a long day yesterday and it's going to be another late night tonight. Hams and hocks are done and mellowing in the fridge. Bacon is on now and should be done round about midnight. I'll have some finished pics of that later I guess.

That'd be awesome 6. I'm hoping to draw a caribou permit as well for next season and think this rifle may be my go to for that hunt if I get it as well. Of course I'll have to decide between the E-Tip, Accubonds, BT's or Partitions.... decisions decisions. Such is life.

So I "had" to take a couple years off. The Wife and I bought a new place and other projects took precedence over getting the reloading station set back up but I finally got it completed this weekend. Anyways the new place offers me a great 100yd. range right out the window next to the reloading...
Where are you in Anchorage Bear? That last one kind of looks like the one they call the "General" that hangs out around the airport I think. Of course I saw nothing but forks and tweeners down in 15 this year.
Just a heads up. Blemished .308 165 gr. Ballistic Tips are in stock at SPS. I just picked up a couple hundred, but there were 40 some-odd packs in stock.
There are no restrictions, that I see listed anywhere in the regs., that would prevent someone in Alaska from using FMJ bullets. I also recall hearing about people doing so on another forum. I don't use them personally as I feel they don't/wouldn't provide enough knock down power on an animal...
Jealous. I've been putting in for that and 210 for a decade. Oh well, always next year. Good luck on your hunt and be careful. 20 Mile can be a dangerous river for sure.
It was hard enough to get the Accubonds back in stock (for a couple days) for the .375 after over a year waiting. I lucked out and grabbed some but it doesn't seem Nosler is too keen on putting much effort towards the caliber.
