Fortunately most Alaskan guides don't read these threads because they are out in the field hunting with scopes on their rifles - and that bear who's paw I am holding was in such thick pucker brush that without a scope it is doubtful we would have even been able to see him well enough to get a shot.

So I guess it is true, as least as far as the bear was concerned, a scope can get you killed grin

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
