[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1769158, member: 9308"] Sounds like a .338 Ruger Compact Magnum (RCM) would do the trick for the animals on your menu and would give good short barrel performance. It uses a magnum bolt face. As you said, to keep recoil manageable for wife and kids, a muzzle-brake makes sense (even though I personally hate them on a [U]hunting[/U] rifle.) This should be an interesting thread as it is hard to get "bear power" (grizzlies), long distance capability, and manageable recoil in a 'short barrel' rifle. <Chewing popcorn...waiting to see how this goes...> [/QUOTE]
