[QUOTE="drbobc, post: 239696, member: 9366"] Well I have a 300 weatherby and also a 30-378 weatherby. Both clearly will kill anything although for big critters like a bear I might go for a 340 weatherby (300 with neck resized). BUt, you can go with heavy bullets for the bigger animals and a 180 or smaller for smaller animals. I love them both (actually I have 3 - 300s). Problem with the 30-378 is the god awful cost of the ammo. You can get 300 mag ammo for about 40 dollars for 20 without any hassle. Able ammo is one such site. 340 is about the same but uses bigger slugs (up to 300). You can get a mark V sporter for about 1100 from impactguns and a few other shops. If I were limited to a single rifle it would be a 300 weatherby. Load light and it will make a varmint disappear. Load heavy and you can kill nearly anything in North America (don't think I would challenge a Kodiak bear with one and a moose might be a tad big but a 300 can kill either one. bob chronister [/QUOTE]
