Geez, try not to overthink it. You decided on the 629 I thought. I'd get the ammo and start practicing already. See how fast you can sling a good group down range in 4 seconds or less. Heck, you're going into Grizzly country. Just saying...get some bear spray while you're at it.

++++ These are grizzlies. They are fast. Carry bearspray too. Yeah, I know a lot of junk. I carry both when solo, and I am carting a .338. I always have bearspray with safety off within easy reach while field dressing, even when I have backup. I move it around to keep it in reach. No I have not had problems....yet. But the bears are around.
