[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1261547, member: 30902"] Give the .375 Ruger a look. Even with 300gr bullets it's recoil is bearable and it's more than enough for the biggest bears. With the 300gr DGX in a factory load you have over 3600lbs and almost 2700fps at the muzzle from a 24" barrel. With the 250gr GMX you're running at 2850fps or thereabouts. There's also a wide selection of .375 bullets for you to choose from if you prefer to reload. I liked shooting it before I put a brake on it and after I did so it quickly became one of my absolute favorite guns to shoot. One of these days I want to build one in a 28" barrel to see how close to 3000fps we can get with the 270gr class of bullets to play with at long range. [/QUOTE]
