I think if hunting in Alaska and lion and Buffalo suddenly entered the equation there’d be a lot of re-evaluating happening. 😂

Personally if I’m hunting brown bear or if I’m hunting in brown bear country the rifle I’m carrying would be sized accordingly and I’d likely be carrying the .338 or .35 Whelen, both of which are capable of taking any lion or buffalo in Alaska. 😉. If it’s adequate for brown bear it’s adequate for lion or buffalo imho. A big brown bear is as formidable of an animal as anything out there.


+1 on this way of thinking
