[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 2437953, member: 74603"] I think most old timers would recommend a .30 Caliber - or bigger. For Bear - I don't think you can get too big - and the .375 is what an old guide on Kodiak Island liked for the big ones - but he called it a "six-bits" I have shot one - at a mock charging African Dagga Boy - and got off three shots from the bolt action and did not even feel it. It's supposedly more of a push - than a jolt like the .338 and you can also get much better recoil pads - even stock inserts - to tame the kick. Stepping down in size - the .300 Win Mag has been a favorite for decades for North American game. [/QUOTE]
