[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 509515, member: 2736"] No problem. I would still use the 416 on bear (There is no such thing as over kill with something that could, and probably would ruin your whole day if he was not hit with enough energy) I bought my first 416 for a brown bear hunt based on lots of advice and films that showed bear running hundreds of yards after being hit perfect with smaller calibers. The 416 drops them in there tracts with the right bullet. I read your later post and understand your problem with recoil (The 416s have plenty) but can be tamed with weight and a good muzzle break. I just watched a film where a guy empty,ed his 375 H&H into a very large brown and was mauled by the bear. (Fortunately he was carrying a 454 hand gun and was able to save his life). Someone suggested the 450 marlin and that would be an alternate choice because of the large diameter bullets and less recoil. Just an opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
