Well GBHUNTER,
I own 2 30-06 rifles they have the ablilty to knock down almost anything I need to. I am looking at buying a 7mm-08 for my wife though. It is quite impressive up to about 400 yards with less kick than the 30-06. Remmington has these in a 700 mountain rifle, these are for youth and smaller adults who still like to hunt.
They say that these are good for everything right up to moose. If you are going for bear you might want to stay with the 30-06 and a 200gr round

.308 with 150 grain ballistic silver tips.
30/30 with 150 grain soft points
12 guage with 3 1/2" 00 buckshot
The .308 is the primary when hunting from stands. 12 guage for man drives. The 30/30 because it' s been a faithful companion for many years in the past and I can' t seem to leave it out of the season.
