[QUOTE="coop22250, post: 1598534, member: 107678"] I had this issue a couple years back. I live and hunt in bear land, last year I took 2 buddies to my honey hole, 7 bears within 800 yards in one night! Another big fat brown bear with cubs the next, if she didn’t have cubs I would have taken her, gorgeous hide. I settled for a browning TI in 325 wsm. 5.25lbs, Shoots 200 grain partitions Sub MOA, 300 yards is my max with it, but I say carry for what you might need. I have carried it on sheep and goat hunts the last few years. I recently purchased a 300wsm in model 7, having a shorter barrel is a big deal when fighting alders. 26” will make you lose your mind, catch in every fork of every alder. I’ll be carrying this with 180-200 gr, depending on what I decide between now and then. I’ll be testing it in bears here in about 5 weeks if I’m lucky. [/QUOTE]
