[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 72704, member: 3776"] I believe that a long range bear is doable.The hunter has the final say on whether to shoot or not to shoot.If conditions are not perfect the hunter can simple pass on the shot and never disturb the bear.Many shots are taken at relitively short range under adverse conditions [ thick brush,etc]and no one seems to care.I have taken Alaskan grizzley with a 5 shot revolver and 5 1/2" barrel with no problems,yet many would find this fool hardy.Everything depends on the indvidual and the conditions.There are times that I find a revolver a better choice for me than a rifle.I would hunt in the same woods with you anytime and not worry! The only difference between your choice of calibers and mine is I would have opted for the big 338 bore diameter as I believe there is a better selection of high b.c. bullets in this caliber for long range hunting. I think that you guy's should be given medals just for qualifing to do your line of work.I would say good luck but I believe that with your training and continued practice that you will take luck out of the equation [/QUOTE]
