[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1125043, member: 48559"] If you can shoot a 300WM comfortably in a weight that you don't mind carrying, then there's no such thing as too much gun. I had one for 6 months and hated it, my shoulder took over a year to recover. This was before I learned that LR big boomers shouldn't weigh 7 lbs. and discovered muzzles brakes. I had a 10 lb 7RM which was fine to shoot, but I wasn't satisfied with the accuracy, so I had a heavy barreled 6.5/284 built. That one shoots great, and I wouldn't feel shy about a bear at the ranges you mentioned. I have since built a 280AI, and get almost the same velocity as my old 7RM with the same bullet (3015 fps vs 3050 fps with 168VLDs). I look upon this rifle as my "one size fits all" favorite. It weighs 12 lbs, and has a JP brake. [/QUOTE]
