[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2205066, member: 118816"] I can see that one has to watch what one is doing when replying or your comments will be posted before it is done. Anyway I have been a rifle instructor both in the Army as well as NRA for, let's just say a very long time so I don't date myself. It has been my experience that no matter what you are hunting you need to use a rifle with adequate energy to get the job done, but even more importantly a rifle you are familiar with that you can accurately place the bullet exactly where you want it each and every time when you pull the trigger. Shot placement is all important and shooting a rifle you are intimately familiar with beats trying on that you barely know, that kicks the heck out of you which may cause a flinch at the most inopportune time. I have owned and still own a 300 Win Mag and providing you are comfortable with it and can place the shot exactly where you want it every time there should not be any issues killing an brown bear. Assuming that you are going on a guided hunt let your guide carry the heavy artillery which he/she is used to for a backup if needed. It is a big misconception that bigger is always better. A well placed shot with the rifle you are familiar with is much better than a misplaced shot with a larger rifle that you might not shoot as well. [/QUOTE]
