I only spent 7 days hunting bears on Upper Togiak Lake, with my stainless/synthetic Trinyte coated XCR II and the stainless striker on my bolt (only thing not coated) was flecked with rust spots when I got home. Alaska is tough on guns and I wasn't even near the sea.
I believe accuracy is the most important thing, as both calibres are capable performers. If you can handle the extra recoil of a 505 then it would be better but if you lose accuracy stepping up to the bigger calibre then think again. That stands for PH's and hunters alike, it depends on how you feel about recoil
Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?
