[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1655742, member: 9308"] I'm still just a little disappointed. We got recommendations as high as .416's and .458's...but no one jumped the shark and put out ".50 Cal BMG" (...there's still time!) Anyone? Come on. Just DO IT! Who could criticize going bigger still? I mean, Jesus, it's a BEAR. They are like The Terminator and we are all just little John Connor's out there. A .30-06 Springfield with heavy for caliber, premium (Partition/Barnes) bullets CAN and WILL do the job. You might want more. You can suggest more. But the point is - it can do the job. It'd be my absolute minimum, but I'd roll the dice if that's all I had in my safe and the opportunity came up. And that's what Dutch was inquiring about. It sounds like he's going to save his blued/walnut .30-06 for other endeavors and get a stainless steel gun in a synthetic (or laminated wood) stock in a bigger caliber IF he makes the move to Alaska. Seems like he got what he needed from this thread. For the record Dutch, I hope you do make the move to Alaska so you can jump on here down the road and share some of your hunting stories with us.
