[QUOTE="robbobsam, post: 562493, member: 25432"] Coming from the UK I have never hunted bears, however I have seen many in the zoo and they are huge mammals with massive teeth and claws which could rip your average hunter apart in seconds. With that in mind if I were lucky enough to hunt these creatures one day I would want to know the rifle I have in my hands was well capable of dispatching the animal whether I got a good shot in or a not so good shot in. I don't think you can be over gunned if hunting for something that can fight back and maybe eat you !!! Maybe I am wrong here but as a completely inexperienced bear hunter a .338 Lap Mag with 300grain bullets and 5000ft/lb sounds a good starting point to me. I am with Liltank, I don't want to find myself in a fair fight with a bear, I just want to smoke his *** !!! [/QUOTE]
