CETME is a good rifle, but to heavy to tote around.
.22 in Alaska? for what? mosquitos?
Nothing against it but the Ruger 10/22 is the priciest .22 out there.
I was thinking the same thing. The HK-91 was a fine rifle, extremely accurate, reliable but as you said, too heavy and also it just does not carry well. Too bulky.
The Browning or Ruger 10/22 are both fine but the 10/22 has the advantage of quick reload.
Under $230-400 isn’t pricey. Look at anschutz for dropping serious coin. Marlin 981t can be had for under $200
Have you experienced Alaskan mosquitos? A .410 might be better than a .22.
I will never understand why the 25 rd mags are so huge and long, the 10 rd box is small compact and dependable.
Yup LOL
.45 ACP at 300 yards? How about a lever-action carbine and a revolver , both in .44 magnum?
I mean for a standard 22, not a marksmans rifle.
Marlin 60 works fine.
Rotary vs. single stack. I wonder if double stacks were too problematic with the rimmed cases.
300 yd 45 ACP aint happening LOL
100 yd 45 ACP aint happening.
I love the 981T!
Yeah. A grizzly at 100 yards can perhaps be avoided, but if it wants to be a problem, it can get closer pretty fast. I’d still carry a .44, and probably wish it were a .500 if I were charged.
BTW the bolt release on the 10/22 sucks.
I recommend the Valquartzen after market mod or if you aint squeamish take a rotary grinder to it
Bears scare me LOL
I avoid them.
Long shots are nice but dangerous animals aren’t a problem at long range. When it comes to saving your life from a po’d Grizzly at close range I would think a lever action in 45-70 would be the preferred weapon.
