[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 968710, member: 56732"] Been there done that. Its not overly practical for me. And not as much fun as I'm not one to hunt much of anything in dangerous game country without a dangerous game rifle. That's why I Know how good a deer rifle the 458 Win mag and various 416 s are. Now that I live where there aren't many big bears I don't shoot the large bores much. If I could only have 1 cartridge it would be a 416 . If 2 then a 6.5 Creedmoor. If 3 then I would add a 223. If 4, then a 338 would be added. However, as it stands now my Creed and my 9.3×64 Brenneke and the 223 . I built the 9.3 before I started on long range. . It will work in a pinch for up close brown bear but it kind of leaves me with a ( my *** hangin off a cliff feeling) A 416 and a few Creed's would work and my 223 hasn't had much use of late as I am so happy with the 6.5 . 1 rifle without spare barrels = not doing much shooting. My next Creed will be a 20" truck axle barreled 15 pounder with DBM bottom metal and mags and a 3-15×42 SWFA SS mil/ mil scope. It will be set up as a do all winter rifle. Predators +caribou. In and out of the truck, on and off the snow go and snowshoes. Thumbhole laminated stock It will sit on the sticks solidly and be easy to control with my right hand while blowing a call or operating a remote control. I've got to find out what kind of speed I can get from a 338/375Ruger as that may fill my medium bore long range needs. . The 9.3 will always be mine but may not get lots of use. . . I've shot coyote with the 416 and its just too hard on them as the 9.3 is on fox. So. 1 rifle isn't for me but 1 action make is apealing . Stainless Ruger bolt rifles [/QUOTE]
