[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1185240, member: 75933"] right on Phorwath. What i don't hink they understand is that these are little back east black bears that can be killed with a 243. If you're salmon fishing in an area with bears, those bears are going to be larger than any other bear anywhere. period. they have lots of high quality food and that makes them very big and very strong. sure the 308 will kill a brown bear with a side on lung shot or one between the eyes, but when that thing is charging at 30mph, you need numbers on your side. Ftlbs at the short range is what will stop a bear charge. you don't want to have to rely on a single 180gr placed directly between the bobbing eyes on a charging bear. no offense, but if she can't handle the recoil give her 2 cans of bear mace and hope there isn't an issue.
