As nice as some of these are, I just can't see them as serious hunting rifles.

Hunting bear in Alaska with a semi-auto? Wouldn't freezing of the action and/or parts be a real problem?

Still no specific answer to this question. In a freezing Alsakan environment.

I wonder regarding the comments about the reliability of semi-autos? Why then do they need so constant and consistent cleaning to continue to operate well? ie in a military environment, isn't the failure to maintain and keep the s/a clean and serviced a real problem if it is not done regularly?

I've never had this problem with a Mauser 98 or a double rifle. Other than a wipe down, or cleaning the bore which is more for maintaining the life of the bore than keeping the firearm functional.
