I picked up a 340wby when I was 20,shot a lot of partitions,some barnes,now NAB's.Always did the job,last ten years packed 338NM,300 otm,Im sure it would flatten a grizz up close,if it was a big brown,id want mono. 340 Ive had 36 years

Just found some pics. Built by the late great Bob Hagel, 340 weatherby. Leupold VX-1 fixed 4 scope. Comes in right around 9 lbs

I count myself fortunate I was able to spend some time with Hagel that's the reason I'm a 340 and 7 Mashburn Super fan. The 7 Mash would of been my first choice for this if there hadn't been rule #4 about needs to be able to run factory ammo...I'd just use the old 175 Nozler semi spitzer and get to it

My 338 win mag on the Remington action is my everything North America . Mostly run the 225 Hornady bullets but if I get the chance to go where big bears roam I'd jump to the 250 partitions . And yeah they shoot good from it done tried them just in case . As for the scope it's an older Simmons 44 I believe 4-12 power. Plenty good enough for what I do with it.

300 win mag, Berger, copper, partition depending on the game and
terrain.

300 Winchester Magnum all day long

 

[338 dude]

300 win mag
NF atacr 4-16x42
Proof carbon fiber sendero contour
Mcmillan game warden edge fill
200 gr. Eldx for long shots
180 partitions/190 LRX for anything 500 yards & under
Atlas bipod, 4 rounds, slung - 10 lbs 9 ounces ready to hunt!

Built this very rifle last year - hope to add its twin before fall.

After 15+ years of going round and round building countless customs I have gone full circle back to the 300 win mag. It just plain works!

This one right here^^^

22 rimfire... Ha...

I mentioned the 30/06 or 308 along with lots of cartridges similar to this or larger depending on your,,, terrain,,, purhaps weather and other factors...

I'm old school,,, so a standard mid size cartridge will/ has worked for me over the years...

Thats just me in my opinion only,,, others have their wants and needs...

Good luck finding what works for you,,, that's what really counts...

Cheers from the North

Well dad killed 6 grizz, a bunch of moose, caribou, Dall and Stone sheep, Elk, Mule deer, Blacktails and antelope with a Pre 64 model 70 .30/06, k4 weaver and 150s or 180s. He favored Partitions.

Didn't know Bob myself, was roommates in college with his grandson. Bought this rifle off a gentleman that reached out to the family when he was to old to hunt any more. They weren't interested because they had his actual personal guns but I jumped on it. Spent sometime behind a Ruger #1 7 mashburn that his grandson had, as well as quite a few others. The guy definitely built some exceptional rifles.

My vote would be the 375H&H, taking into consideration the big bears. My Whitworth, was put to the test about 30 years ago in Botswana. on my first trip it was my only rifle and proved to be very manageable, and effective on game from 100 pound antelope to 2000 pound Cape Buffalo.

30-06 would do just fine but I would probably Pic 300wm

 

[Will Gray]

Mausingfield action, Timny trigger, H--S Precision stock & bottom metal. 375 RUM Shilin 26" barrel with muzzle brake. Leupold bases and rings. Trigicon scope.
