RE: best gun for moose and bear
A properly loaded 30-06 will flatten any bear in Alaska, been there done that, seen that! Anyone know of Phil Shoemaker, bear guide in Alaska? He agree's with me 100%, of course he's been there done that, seen that too!
If i was going with a magnum, i'd buy a 7mm Rem. Mag., and properly loaded, it is a great brown bear cartridge...
You just don't need a cannon for Alaska...
