[QUOTE="wildwilderness, post: 1979313, member: 33617"] If you are going guided you don’t need to worry about Stopping bears. The guide will take care of that. If you plan to shoot a bear or moose I would say .284” or bigger. Many excellent 7mm options in a short light configuration- 7 SAUM, 7 SS, 7 WSM, 280/AI .284 win, 7-08, shoot a 180 gr bullet and kill anything, 140-160 class for velocity. my experience with light rifles is too much recoil. No brake and no can is lighter, so smaller calibers shoot way better for me! No way I would go with a 30 cal on a sub 6lb rifle [/QUOTE]
