[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 2111409, member: 75933"] When I was in AK, I used a 8.5lb tikka with a 22" barrel in 338wm for everything. running 250gr bullets hard, your effective range is easily into the 4-500yd area, even for larger game. Killed a number of caribou at 2-300yds, and 2 bears at less than 50yds. none of them knew the difference., If I spent more time in brush and timber, I'd stick with 22-24" or less with a suppressor. If it was open timber and clear country, probably 26-28" with a brake and ear plugs. Anymore, if I'm hunting anywhere other than home, the 28" 12lb 338rum gets the call for range and power. [/QUOTE]
