I’ve been pleased with the Burris Signature HD 3-15x44. Clear glass and tracking had been spot on.

Looking for some 270 WSM brass if anyone has some they can part with.

Checked out my friends new build this weekend, 338-06AI on a 700 action, he is very happy with initial load development. I’m a wee bit jealous.

Mainly the Bristol Bay area along with Kodiak, and the Bering Sea/Aleutians. Have friends in the Bethel area and their pics look a lot like yours.

Welcome from Montana, spent a good part of my life in AK myself.

That’s who I sign my paycheck over to.

Price?

I don't shoot a .54 caliber, but if i did, I'd load the 485gr No Excuses conical. https://www.muzzleloading-bullets.com/product/54-caliber-485-grains/

I was standing in this one’s rattle, when I jumped off, he/she wasn’t in any mood to be sung a lullaby.

Have both (Sako A11 in 7-08 and a late 80’s Medallion in 300wm), the A bolts are a solid hunting rifle, the Sako is arguably one of the better production rifles ever made. If the action/trigger are still in usable condition I’d build off of the Sako.

These are book velocity maximums from the Barnes web page entered into the Hornady calculator at my elevation, the .270 win holds its own pretty well.

Prayers for Bill and family sent.

I'm replying to myself so as to redact the 270 win from my list, recently picked up a Marlin X7 in 270 solely because it was cheap and hardly used. Shoots everything so far very well including handloaded 110gr TTSXs at a shy 3400 fps.

Prayers for a safe surgery and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

With a 110gr TTSX at 3400fps that would be a good candidate.
