Alaska would have an official state firearm under a measure introduced by a Wasilla Republican.
Sen. Charlie Huggins' bill would reserve that title for the pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 .30-06 caliber rifle. Huggins says the rifle played a key role in settling country and was used by hunters, trappers, Alaska Natives and pioneers during Alaska's formative years.

Nice rifle!
I'll nominate a S&W 44 magnum for the state handgun!
Hunh.. given what's sitting in the museums up here I'd think they would have picked a Winchester 1895.
... but I can live with that choice I guess. :)
