Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 250 Savage for black bear?

I agree with Steelhead. Bear die pretty easily.

I LOVE my 250. and would not hesitate to shoot any bear that lives in Maine. I did not have the wide arrary of bullet choices that is available today which make the 250 even better. Shoot a bear in the azz with a 308 and you still have a wounded bear.

The 250 sav. is cool and it kills far beyond what paper ballastics say it should. However, it is your $$ so you need to be satisfied and convinced.
