Stocks & Barrels
Posted by Brian Richardson on May 09 2005
This is often discussed in gun discussions “for Alaska.”
My uses for a gun in Alaska exhibits quite a few faces… sometimes it’s on float trips that I see an average of 50-70 bear up very close per working week, --- despite the fact that at other phases, persuasions, seasons, & environments involve going as light, simple, or compact as I can while still being able to deliver the promise of a knock out shot.
Taken as a whole (maybe just in particular) so as not to be too general… I’ll convey that stainless/synthetic is the top-drawer selection for Alaska (its diverse conditions) and to drive the nail a bit extra relate that this is for long guns & handguns.
Sure, we have had wood stocks (by the way not every wood stock is just a “wood stock”) and blued guns (by the way not all bluing are the equivalent) for a long time. Certainly well before synthetics (by the way not all synthetics are on par) & stainless (by the way some stainless is superior to others). I only say this in this slant to indicate that there is one heck of a lot of great stuff and a greater heap of scrap. I also am taking into account that even just one trip to Alaska with a fine new gun in hand can leave looking like Freddy Kruger’s thrice leftover salmon.
To resolve your uncertainty is actually straightforward without reservation. High-quality Stainless actions, barrels, and components, in addition to first-rate synthetic stocks made from fitting materials are superior for Alaska… by enhancing corrosion resistance - constructing a stock of higher strength, blemish resistance, & stability - and finally a higher latitude of forgiveness when outdoors on a cut-rate amount of care. Hey, and worth mention - you can add some coatings to boost fighting the effects of Alaska’s Mother Nature… It’s Mother’s Day so I had to put that last sentence in.
