Hunting Greenland

[flat8]

Really cool hunt. Looking forward to reading about it.

I have thought about the 375 Ruger. It has a 1.5x5 Leupold scope on it.Loaded with the Barnes 250 grain ttsx at a little over 2800 fps but a little unnecessary for caribou. I just got my Ruger No 1 in 30-06. I have some 180 gr. partitions and accubond bullets. It has a 2x 7 redfield scope. It may be the safest bet.

I like the Ruger No. 1 idea. I would go with the Accubonds. You really don't need the .375 for this hunt. Looking forward to the report... You may consider taking a few FMJ rounds. Don't they have Arctic fox there?

I think they do have them. May load up some 150 gr. Fmj

I shot mine here in AK with a 454 casull and my kid used a 7mm-08. Both one shot kills and both B&C.

I would take the rifle you are most confident with for the longer ranges for caribou.

What do you guys think would be a good rifle to take to Greenland. I will be hunting muskoxen and caribou. I have the option to take a 375 Ruger with 250 gr. TTSX. The 300 Ruger with 165gr. Interbonds or gmx. Akao a Ruger no.1 with 180 gr. Accurbond. Muskoxen can weigh up to 800 lbs. But caribou could be at longer ranges.

There's only one rifle cartridge for muskox and that's Roy weatherby's magnificent 378 Magnum you would shoot clear through the entire herd
