But, with the cost of such a hunt, I'd take my NH, M-70 SS Classic .375 H&H (21" tube) over my 7RM, '06, .300WM .338-284, 9.3x62, etc. Probably won't kill the bear any deader, would sure make me feel better.

Some of the others, like the 9.3, are pretty fancy. My .375 is SS/Tupperware with a Zeiss Victory 1.5-6x42 in Talley QD's and NECG fiber optic irons. (Scope's probably worth more than the rifle, but that's OK). It feels right, handles great and is rugged enough for the wettest, nastiest terrain, places where I wouldn't want to take a nicer gun.

Just sayin'

IdahoPro had a little different feeling about front sights after we went through a smallish patch of alders one day... No pack and no wounded bear ahead the sight still grabbed every alder he tried to pass, as they are wont to do.

Getting rid of gadgets and trash is far better...
