[QUOTE="X-man, post: 350296, member: 8416"] I live on Vancouver Island...Up here the stupid things are pests. They are readily available long range targets here and I plan on shooting a couple this spring with my heavy gun and 300SMK's. Black bears are no tougher than a deer....May be less so....Grizzly they are not. A 25-06 or 270 is more than enough gun, but I prefer to smash the crap out of them. IMHO the more important thing is getting an exit hole so you can easily track down one that walks out of sight.....Be sure it will head for the ugliest sh1t hole on the planet...You wont like pulling it out of there...Unlike deer there is nothing to grab on to! Hence the reason I like to smash them. The 300win with a 200Accubond is a great LR blackie cartridge, but I am normally packing my light 338 Edge...('cause I can). If you don't like the recoil of a 300 I would have a hard look at a 7mag. Bullet placement can be tough in poor light..Your first time nerves wont help either! Good optics help here. Take your time.
