I have been shooting my new Browning Bar Light semi automatic today and the precision is so good that i can shoot head shoots on moose at 100 yards

And i also shoot a fast test 4 shoots at 4 seconds in to a target big like my fist at 80 yards.

I think that this rifle is a good stopping rifle for bears...

What do you think guys....?

I forget to say that the rifle caliber is in 30-06 and i shoot my tests with 180 grains oryx bullets.....!

It will work on black bears too.

When in doubt, do a nuclear strike.

Sounds like your rifle is quick handling and accurate enough but I feel the '06 is a bit lacking to be qualified as a bear stopper.

It will work fine with a good stout bullet when used on an unexcited bear but to stop a charge on a bear of any size, it would fail quite often without a brain shot.

To be a good stopper, caliber and bullet weight mean as much as velocity ever would.

Don't get me wrong, the old '06 will do great for hunting anything non-dangerous at reasonable ranges.

Hi Overkill, my hero!!
If you're late, you also need a rifle that can stop the train, or a Jumbo-jet!!
(Then we're really talking about stopping power.)
If you're goal is to going around shooting "headshots" on moose, i belive you'll sooner or later need a good tracking dog!!

Shoot well, and hit hard.

I am going to use it on moose hunting 150-250 kg. And with Norma Oryx 180 grain bullets.

And i think that if a bear is running at me from 30 m i can shoot 3-4 shoot and that should stop a bear....!

I'm sure it will be just fine on Moose and Blackbear

good luck

If something was closing in on me fast that could bite me, I would want a bigger gun, period. You can almost never be overgunned.

Good luck and good shooting

Overkill,
COngratulations, They're a nice gun.
You should be able to get better groups than a moose sized head at 100metres though.
Please let us know how big a hole it makes and if it knocks them off their feet.

Good luck
