[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 85685, member: 10"] The idea of shooting, what I will reluctantly call, a weapon of that caliber in that package isn't machismo, it is stupidity. With proper shot placement there isn't a creature in N. America a 30-06 will not kill. To be 100% truthful a .270 Winchester is perfectly adequate once the Brown bear is taken off the table. Sure hunting big bears its wise to step up a notch for safety sake, but it isn't necessary. The average adult male should, with proper training, be able to handle the 30-06 recoil in a standard bolt action rifle. I've watched so much stupidity with firearms it is painful to watch videos like that. I know a man that,successfully, hunts wild boar with a SKS in the standard 7.62x39 caliber. He has friends that have taken every thing up to .460 Weatherby Mags.. When asked the diff? "I eat pork chops, they eat sausage".. Now I'll admit I almost pee'd on myself laughing the first time he said that, its funny, but its very true... We men sometimes think of caliber as an extension of our sexual prowess, utter nonsense... If the max you can handle is a 30-30 be great with a 30-30, if you can handle a .600 nitro, be great with a 30-06 or at most a 7mm... Much more is just compensating. [/QUOTE]
