What rifle do you like to use? Any suggestions for a good rifle for 300 yards or better?

Can't beat a 270 or 30/06. I've got both and would use either one for black bears. Either one is good out to 400 yards.

300 win mag seems to be the preferred caliber for our group, but they range from 25 WSSM to 300 RUM.

300 WIN MAG with a 180 grain seems to put em down pretty hard.

"300 yards or better" does that mean closer or further?

for me closer is definitly better.

Any normal deer rifle, place your bullet.

7MM REM MAG. 175GR COR-LOKS. 5 BEARS, FROM 10YRDS TO 300YRDS ALL 1 SHOT KILLS.

.30-06 works fine.

docsven · « **Reply #13 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:25:47 PM »

.300 Savage carbine. Not so good for long shots though but a good brush gun.

Hell I just take a switch...

JACKALL · « **Reply #15 on:** December 31, 2008, 09:27:57 AM »

.270 or larger, but ya still got a hit to kill em. The last thing you want is to be chasing down a wounded bear.

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #16 on:** December 31, 2008, 10:00:27 AM »

I use a 30-06. Want to buy a .270 to hunt with next year.

In hunting anything shot placement is key!

blindpig · « **Reply #17 on:** December 31, 2008, 02:41:10 PM »

.270 on up.

wrangler · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2008, 02:44:27 PM »

.280rem does the trick. plus it rolls of the tongue better than .270.... haha!

luvtohnt · « **Reply #25 on:** January 14, 2009, 07:26:31 AM »

I usually try to poke them with a stick, but they usually don,t let me get that close. I also use a .33 win mag for back-up. Great caliber.
