[QUOTE="RH300UM, post: 1797721, member: 12469"] Ok guys. I got some good news. The boss wants me to start guiding Brown Bear hunts in our area on the Alaskan Peninsula. Starting this May!! I couldn’t be more excited and willing to learn this endeavor. The big bears have always fascinated me. I have my 375 RBH that I’ve been using up in the Alaska arctic to guide with. I had to use a 1 type fits all bullet because of the dynamics involved with multiple species and distances involved if I had to dispatch a wounded animal. So I was using the 281 grain Hammer hunter. I now have a 338 RBH coming to fill that roll. Now the 375 becomes a dedicated Brown Bear guide rifle. I’ll be pulling the 3x15 nightforce off it and transferring it to the 338 RBH. I have a 2x10 nightforce to put on the 375 now. I am thinking the 299 sledge hammer for the 375 is the top choice for its new duties. But I’m wondering if I should have a 305 claw hammer ready in the pipe for those times a charge may take place in the searching for a wounded Bear in the thick alders if and when it happens. What say you guys? I’ve made my mind up as you can tell but I’m interested in hearing your input on this [/QUOTE]
