[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1598955, member: 108576"] A fellow I worked with from down South years ago paid for an Alaskan Sheep hunt and took his old standby that never let him down,a Winchester pre 64 Model 70 in 270.He could group well out to 400 yards and felt his Nosler Partitions would easily take a sheep. To get to a higher spot they had to walk through a small thicket that even the guide and other hunter and man to carry animals felt safe so they went through. The Grizz came from his left and so fast he didn't have time to shoulder the rifle,he shot from the hip and struck the bear in the chest he thought.The other hunter and guide didn't have time to get a shot off as the bear scrapped the shooter with his paw and ran off. Air lifted to hospital and around 40 stiches later he promised his wife to get life insurance and get a bigger rifle.After a week in the hospital he went home with a lot of bad memories. Don't let that be you.I hope your guide is experienced. Just my 2 cents Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
