[QUOTE="orangevale, post: 1178373, member: 12022"] Sarcasm Alert And I put 40 highway miles a day on a Toyota Corolla, so does that mean I think the Corolla is the best highway car? Nope it means Im a cheap SOB and judge the Corolla to be adequate transportation. Sarcasm All Clear My gut tells me that Inuit caliber preferences have more to do with available serviceable rifles and the availability and price of ammunition than worrying about the best rifle for Alaska. My uncle subsistence hunted mule deer in Northern California with a 30-30 Winchester 94 that had the stock broken clean through and repaired with wraps of electricians tape. He refused to replace it, as it went bang every time; he probably got ten deer per 20 round box of ammo. My bet is the Inuit have a similar frugal ethos. Uncle Genes top hunting tip; when shooting from a logging road only take deer that are up slope, they might run down hill toward you, but if not, its easier to pull the carcass down hill that up.
