I’ve.pretty much decided on the 300 WM, now just looking to find the right rifle.

Great choice. It will cover you from A-Z in North American and abroad.

Don't take the troll bait.

It was a perfectly good thread, and nobody is forced to read it.

Besides, you went with a great caliber.     :tup:

Would add, of the 27 bears I have been fortunate to harvest, one was a clean cross basin shot at just shy of 600 yards with a 300 Winchester mag and 180 ballistic tip. Left shoulder blade and both lungs, down on the spot! The rest, not one over 150 yard, several under 10 yards...

My choice is 7 mag less recoil equals more pratice, higher per weight bc and more than enough energy at 700 for black bear.

Thought I would update this thread. I picked up a like new Tikka 300WM, add a MBM brake and mounted my Burris Veracity 2-10.  Will be hunting both Idaho and WA spring bear with it this year.

Congrats on the rifle and spring bear draw.
