A Quote from R.LEE ERMEY

It's funny that pissing matches are so rare on here, usually when they happen they get so far off topic,
<-- is no exception either, actually with the other goings on right now, it's kind of a breather in an odd way

Sorry to the OP for getting this off topic. This will be my last post on the subject. Take a look at what these guides recommend for brown bears. Hell one of them even requires .375 as a minimum. If all I had was an 06 then I wouldn't even consider a brown bear hunt. Notice I said I. I would be toting my 338 Lapua with 300 gr pills.

NONE of which address the comment R.Lee said would be HIS choice. Personally I dont want to kill a dammed one of them....they aint hurting me and there isnt many to go around to start with.

Who has ever been brown bear hunting?
Who will ever be able to aford a brown bear hunt?
As for the 30-06 my guess is it would get the job done and most done in allright fashion but as we all know the 7Mag is what the 30-06 always wanted to grow up to be
