[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1598465, member: 33159"] My 2 cents. Went on a Kodak Island mountain goat hunt this past October. Had to hike 7 hours through bear country to get to the goats. The outfitter and 2 guides carried 325 WSM’s and a 300 Win. I bought a Christensen Arms 338 Lapua. The rifle was light enough and had enough fire power for the bears or goats. The outfitter also said bear spray was a waste since I’d end up wearing most of it due to the usual wind. If I didn’t buy the Lapua, I would have used my 300 WSM. Personally, I don’t think you can have too much fire power, especially in bear country. [/QUOTE]
