Actually the average mountain grizzly will be in the 6' to 7' range and weigh 300lbs to 500lbs with the coastal bears averaging somewhat larger.Most people assume that grizzly bears are all 8' monsters,but that is far from the truth.
Guess it depends where you are. If you shot an 7' brown bear here you'd be ridiculed the same as if you shot a whitetail with spots on it. This one was P&Y but far from being a monster. 22 5/16" skull, 8'1" squared, maybe 500 lbs.
