Great minds think alike. When I came down on orders for Alaska, about 1965, I bought a Remington 760 carbine (18 inch barrel) in 30-06. Best deal I ever made. it's quite accurate, very powerful, and good for almost anything. It wears an old Weaver K 2.5, plenty of scope for a timber rifle. The reticle originally was a post and crosshair. I didn't like it. I loaned it to a friend; he fell off a mountain with it, busted up the scope and broke his leg. He wanted to pay for the scope but I told him we'd go halves on it as I wanted a new reticle. Sent it to Weaver and they replaced it with a crosshair. I was happy. I haven't hunted much since I got back to the Lower 48, but that thing's got a moose and 4 caribou to its credit.
