i have talked to a few different big game and DANGEROUS game hunters from alaska....overwelmingly they like the performance of
the 270 winchester and the 30.06 ....without talking to them i would have guessed that a .338 mag or .300 mag was the norm...one hunter showed me a pic of a bear (i believe it was a grizzly) that he had taken with a .270 using winchester failsafe bullets..i am planning a hunt in alaska and i think i will be taking a 30.06 to take care of business... i am interested in what everyone else would take if they were planning a trip to hunt near polar bear areas..... looking foreward to responses.. thanks mike l...
