[QUOTE="th82457, post: 1900940, member: 35153"] I know this is a long range hunting forum, but with that said I am not sure that I would shoot at any bear at 700+ yards. If you see one at that distance I would bet you could close the distance for a more accurately placed shot in the vitals. With that said a 7mm-08, .308 .338 Federal or in LA .270, .280, .30-06 will all work well. 1st shot accuracy on bears will usually put them down quickly with minimal tracking. Shots that do not hit vitals result in lost bears. More energy retention & less variables at reasonable ranges. I am sure I will get lambasted by all the dyed in the wool long range guys here, but there are more 600+ yard internet shooters than there are real life in hunting condition shooters that can make those type shots in hunting conditions.
