Hunting & Fishing Son getting stationed in Alaska, what rifle?

[Blackgloves]

1. 25-06
2. 300 Win Mag
3. 30-06

These are the best calibers I have seen and used (and I have seen and used a bunch), in the order of preference. The reasons are difficult to qualify and probably end up being to subjective to others anyway, so...., other than to say "experience" and lots of moose meat.

45-75 gov for anti bear, 300 win mag is a great hunting round that is tried and true. I would go 300 Norma though. Because why not
