maine black bear hunt
ive got a maine black bear hunt set up for 2012 and im thinking about buying a new rifle for it.. i have 2 weatherbys now, one in .270 and the other in .243. i know the 243 is probably a bit too small but with the right bullet the .270 should work fine. But i alway love an excuse to buy a new rifle and ive been looking at the ruger no 1 in .373 h&h mag . Im sure it would take a black bear just fine but is it too much overkill? i shot a friends and fell in love with the gun but im wondering if its practical for north american game.. im also planing a plains game hunt in south africa so im sure that rifle would work well there too . thanks for any info!
