[QUOTE="dabouv, post: 2437971, member: 120359"] Black bears or brown bears? If I were shooting lower 48 browns, I’d go with 30.06 or 7mm mag as a min. Fine for elk, moose, etc.. I’d probably prefer a 300 mag and for sure, if alaska browns I’d even want a 338. Modern bullets are so much better that old caliber rules may not hold. Browning BAR shoots well and cuts recoil. I was in same boat and that was my plan but a buddy made me a deal on a sako finbear 300 mag couldn’t pass up. i never notice recoil hunting but it’s not fun to shoot a lot without a sled. I also like calibers I can find. 300 win mag in a BAR is my vote. [/QUOTE]
