[QUOTE="Goodtobetheking, post: 1598441, member: 92864"] So...find an area to hunt sheep without so many bears! But if you're set on that area, IMO you won't find a good compromise rifle as both critters are just too far apart to have a high BC round which will have a long, flat trajectory with medium game expansion *and* enough brute force energy, SD and mass to "dissuade" the bear effectively. Or, maybe a Sako 85 Long Range in 338 Lapua? Doesnt need to expand to kill the sheep, enough mass, energy and penetration to take the bear. Both assuming proper shot placement, as always. Certainly not lightweight... [/QUOTE]
