[QUOTE="Southernfryedyankee, post: 260622, member: 15549"] Just out of curiosity and I am not doubting your shooting ability whatsoever. Have you shot a 30-378 before? I have been told you can hunt almost anything on the planet but the recoil alone is something to be reckoned with. Shot placement is key to any animal you shoot. I know you will be hunting bear so this next sentence is something I had read a long time ago and made complete sense. You can kill a deer with a well placed 243 shot better than a person who never learned to shoot their 300 win mag and completely misses the vitals and wounds the animal or misses the animal completely. Does that make sense. Now if you have shot the 30-378 and you are comfortable with its recoil by all means take the biggest bear you can find (post pics :D) And if your not find the largest caliber you can handle accurately and painlessly and make a perfectly well placed shot and THEN post some pics of the trophy. 1 more thing I would like to ask is, is this a rifle you will hunt with for the rest of your life? I mean do you go to Alaska every year to 2 years to hunt? I would just hate to build something so awesome and so expensive just to have it sit in a gun locker or on the wall until the next time I MAY get to use it, just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
