[QUOTE="TX mountain hunter, post: 735961, member: 29141"] Thanks everyone for the recommendations and advise. I haven't given many replies but have been soaking in all of this information. I checked into the extra laminated stock idea but then got steered in the direction that if I'm paying for that and the work that I might as well buy a new rifle. Then I came to the conclusion I didn't have the money to be doing that. Fortunately, one of my friends has recently offered the use of his 375 built specifically for an Alaskan brown bear hunt. He's offered it up multiple times and this sounds like my best option. I hope to be able to go test this rifle out soon once the load is resolved and the scope is tailored for proper conditions. He's had some excellent results already with a 300 gr. TSX (2" at 400 and 4" at 600 yards, 5 mph wind). I'm thinking this could be pretty ideal as I should have a wolf tag in pocket and would like to be prepared for a long shot if necessary. The backup plan is a relatives wooden stock 460. He's taken it on this same hunt in the past and isn't worried about the weather. Still, I'm hesitant with the idea... Thanks again to all for the replies. Merry Christmas! [/QUOTE]
