Sorry for the late post, make mine a .470 N.E. in a Double it is the best compromise of recoil and penetration. My 323 Merkel has never let me down. Charlie

My M700 .375 R.U.M. is going to do well here in Alaska against bear. And I'd take it to Africa... or even hell if need be!

Insofar as terminal ballistics are concerned... the .375 R.U.M. with 300 - 350 grain bullets easily exceeds many of the larger choices put forth here.

My M700, SS, is very reliable and deadly accurate! Combine this with it's extremely flat trajectory... and with power to spare at extended ranges... it is going to be hard to beat.
