I have to agree with that.... There's plenty of brush in Ontario and Maine (I grew up in New Brunswick alongside Maine) where we hunt big moose and bear!

My 9.3 x 62 (Tikka T3 Lite) sports a 22.44" (Sako) barrel, which I find perfect for the job, whether for long range shooting in clear cuts, marshes or at the end of lakes. And also in thick woods or brush. My favorite loads are the 250 AB and 286 Partition, though I'm wanting to try the 320 Woodleigh PP on a bear. It leaves the muzzle at +2400 over a dose of RL-17.
