[QUOTE="AKGuide, post: 929551, member: 64701"] It was definitely close for comfort, but to judge a bear closer is better especially when half of the critter is hidden in the grass. The 375 with shoot a little flatter but the longest shot I would let anyone take would probably be 200 yards. I would say the average shot is from 75 to 125 yards. If you can't decide on which one I'd flip a coin as both cartridges are great choices for bear, have factory ammo available and have accessible reloading components. A ruger Alaskan would be a handy rifle to have up here. Just make sure it is stainless if you plan on chasing coastal bears. Salt water and salty mud can wreak havoc on gear. Reuben [/QUOTE]
