Tim Sundles is back with a deep dive into two of the finest utility rifles Ruger has ever offered: exclusive Lipsey’s stainless M77 Alaskans chambered in .35 Whelen and 9.3x62. From controlled-round feed to rugged laminate stocks, Tim breaks down why these rifles are built for real-world abuse in places like Alaska, Africa, and everywhere in between. He compares the two cartridges side-by-side, explains their ballistic differences, and talks iron sights, detachable rings, magazine upgrades, length-of-pull considerations, and why the 9.3x62 holds a slight advantage in raw power. Tim also shows Kim’s well-proven .375 Ruger Guide Gun, adds insight from professional Alaskan guides, and, of course, revisits the Dogman question.
