I had ordered the Alaskan at a "distributor" and waited a whole year for it. It was produced for a few days aroun August in 2012 and I picked it up in November 2012. Developed a load with 260 and 300 grns. Sits in safe now.That should be a great one to work with. Plus, as heavy as I think that they are ……recoil should be very manageable! memtb

Not sure if those days are completely gone but at least you got to experiences it! What a great experience it must have been.Many years ago, when Zimbabwe was called Rhodesia, i went hunting for the big five. For elephants, rinos , and Buffalo used a Westley Richard's double rifle in 577 nitro expess. For lions and leopards used a 460 Weatherby Mag.
I think those days are gone.
