Default RE: What is the best gun for moose and elk

Some of you guys are conviently leaving out the grizzly factor associated with his original post and selection of a rifle.

If I were hunting in Grizzly country or actually hunting Grizzly I would most definetly want something more than a 30-06 just in case I happend upon one in the thick bushes at less than ten yards. Do any of you honestly think that you would even realize that you shot a 375 H&H when you had a pissed off grizzly within spitting distance? I know I wouldn't.

Yes they will kill a Grizzly very effectively when you can take the time to shoot them. But in the event that my life were on the line I would definetly want to put the biggest chunk of lead in the bear as possible.
