[QUOTE="cape cove, post: 2927727, member: 95503"] [USER=126670]@Small Lady[/USER] I've been away moose hunting for about a week and just updated myself with this thread. With no disrespect to anyone who has posted, but the 243 Win is in no shape or form a bear stopper. In fact it may just get you in harms way. Shooting a 400-600 lb bear that is minding his own business is one thing, stopping that same bear when he wants to make a snack out of you is different. You posted earlier that you would not be shooting a bear only in defence . This is where the bigger guns shooting heavy bullets come in and unfortunately IMO you cannot escape recoil. Last thing I would want to hear on CTV news is that a young lady out west was attacked by a bear. [/QUOTE]
