Carry whichever one of the 3 you feel most comfortable with and pack a good sidearm in 45 Colt.

used to do that very thing with the 7 mag that was my sheep rifle.
and then just got over it (for me) today's bullet technology really give a fella an edge imo.
but the old saw still trumps all

(how much is enough is certainly open to debate, the first 3 aren't) True enough bud, but no matter what you put in it, it's still a 7-08.................when you oughtta have had a 308.

I don't see anything to worry about with any of them. I'd take the most familiar/comfortable.

30-06 Springfield, in a light 24 inch barreled rifle. Enough energy and flat enough trajectory for both.
Have to be OUT THERE!

The 270's will do everything the 300's will do except shoot bigger heavier bullets and stop more dangerous game at short range. If I were carrying my life and my family's future in my hands, I'd be carrying the 300. Just sayin'

If your packing out fresh meat on your back in Grizz country take the 300 magnum. Take a Hoyt instead...

(how much is enough is certainly open to debate, the first 3 aren't) Agreed. In other words, take the rifle you are most comfortable with and shoot the best. If you are comfortable and shoot them all well, no reason not to take the 300 WM.

CUZ I am recoil sensitive and don't like carrying heavy rifles, I would take the .270 with the TSX. Ideal for sheep and more than adequate with that bullet for grizzly.

Carry whichever one of the 3 you feel most comfortable with and pack a good sidearm in 45 Colt. In sheep country, a sidearm's gonna get real heavy real quick. It's kinda pointless to save a half-pound of rifle weight then strap on 2-3 lbs of handgun. If 'twere me, I'd take the .300 if by myself--it may or may not make a difference on a grizzly, but I'd feel better with a bigger gun. .270 if guided or with a partner.

When on my Kodiak brown bear hunt, guide's backup gun was a .300 win mag, mine was of Weatherby flavor. The backup wasn't needed after a good first serving of 200 gr partition.

I'll be chasing sheep and grizz in 2 weeks and will be using my 270 and 150gr NP's for both, should the opportunity present itself.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.
