.375H&H for bears/moose...
I haven't gotten the chance to hunt much here in Alaska since I moved here in 2003, but I'm starting to get back into it.
Right now my main rifle is a model 70 7mmSTW, but everyone I've talked to is telling me to get something at least .375H&H or bigger for hunting bear and moose. Personally I don't feel undergunned. I really don't think there is anything in North America that can't be killed with a 160gr bullet going 3,200 fps. My dad even downed a grizzly with his .454 Casull at about 30 yards broadside. Bullet went clean through him. Anyways, I've got my eye on a CZ 550 Safari in .375 H&H for $789. Seems well built and it has a great trigger. I need yall to try to persuade me either way.
