[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1591283, member: 69192"] Hi Mudrunner, I have a similar story about large calibers. When I first started black bear hunting I wanted a large caliber rifle. I have a safe full of Ruger 77 tang safety rifles, so started looking for one in a large caliber. One day I found one in a gun shop at a pretty good price, did some horse trading and bought it. Took the rifle to the range to sight in the scope ( couldn't wait), fired four rounds, put the rifle back in the case and took it back to the place where I bought it. That SOB of a rifle kicked more that two mules with steel snowshoes on!!! Traded back the Ruger 77 in 30-06 that was part of the horse trading, had it rebored to 35 Whelen and never looked back. In this particular case, I found that sometimes bigger isn't always better; the Whelen gets the job done just fine and it is easy on the shoulder. [/QUOTE]
