My dad shot a grizzly with his 7 Saum when I lived in AK. It’s more or less a short action 280 performance wise. 150gr Partition from 150 yards or so.
I know another guy who killed a nice peninsula brown bear with his 280. 8.5 footer.
Visited with many villagers who had cell phone pics of grizzlies and polar bears they’d slewn with various rifles, mostly 222s and 223s with the Mini14 being fairly popular.
