Don't know if it's already been mentioned so lets just say someone was convinced they needed a new rifle of a larger caliber for a brown bear hunt because they feel their(fill in the blank)chambered rifle isn't enough no matter what they've read or been told. Couldn't they just step up in caliber size to rifle that produces the same or near the same recoil as the one they have? As an example I feel my 9.3x62 w/270's recoils very similar to my .30-06 w/180's. Granted the 9.3x62 is a bit over one pound heavier. 8lbs compared to a little over 6.5lbs. Not enough difference for a hunter who should be in good shape for the hunt though.
