[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1979400, member: 4191"] No way I would go sub 6lb rifle. Not necessary, and a handicap on longer shots, as in 700yds. Another reason to go 30 cal... Better odds you'll actually kill your animal, rather than your guide finishing it after you fire the first wounding shot. As to relying on your guide to keep you alive, a local assistant guide shot his client in the back of the head while attempting to finish a wounded brown bear. Client died instantly. Bear ran off and disappeared in the alders. So put your life in the hands of your guide at your own risk, and potential peril. [/QUOTE]
