I am not recommending the .270 for Brown bear as there are - at least in my opinion - a lot better choices - but I have know a few Brown Bear guides who chose the 270 as their backup rifles and lived to ripe old ages.
So it is a given that a proper hit with the 270 and a stout bullet will take Brown Bears. What I said was that I would rather guide someone with the mentioned gear than many of my clients with large bore rifles that they are afraid of and can not shoot well.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
