Took this black bear in Idaho this year. Rifle is a Barrett 98b in 308. One Hornady 150 gr sp did the trick. ![[Linked Image]](http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac58/acoe29/0B8A8CC1-EC2F-4BB9-BFEF-93616E875986_zpsid9bmj4k.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac58/acoe29/E02513CC-BFA5-448E-A7E1-4C56D571C3CD_zpsxanzeamd.jpg)

Congrats! I would never be able to use your rifle, though. My face & neck are too long and I can't get down on the scope. A friend had a bolt action with a similar straight stock. I tried it but I couldn't possibly shoot it.

Thanks, Jac3K. Unit 61 right on the Montana border. Haven't hunted there as that is a bit farther than I drive. Beautiful country, however.
