[QUOTE="Crusty Buck, post: 714631, member: 44282"] Bear Bullets and the 260 Rem. We are covering oposite ends of the spectrum here:) I couldn't get the Model 12 for any thing under $1200 or i would have definitely hooked up with it at $830. It is a much better bench gun. I plan on making the 308 Win work for me. I'll spend the winter shooting at 500 yards and see where we are in the spring. I've yet to get it broke in, 40 rds of shoot and clean at this point. If anyone has a pet 308 load for 500 yds out of a 24" barrel let me know. Taking the 300 Winnie to a bear fight ; no doubt it will work in the right hands and under the right conditions, ie No Suprises of Close Encounters. At 250 yards, one can pick the shot and give the poison time to work. I have never hunted dangerous game. Here in Minnesota, Whitetails rarely fight back. By the way, my little bro shot a deer this afternoon at 30 yards with a 150 ish Amax in 300 win. mag. that I sent his way. Pummled the critter. The bullet never exited and ended up in literally a ball of bone and mush. That is the first time I have seen any bullet respond that way, but I have never seen a critter shot with a target bullet. they don't recomend it, but my bro often does things his way. [/QUOTE]
