I agree that in the devil's club and dense bush of the coast that a CRF bolt action is the way to go but I would say the 300 H&H would do the job loaded with 220-250 grain bullets.

My butcher was drawn along with one of his hunting partners for grizzly and they are in the bush right now around Mackenzie. He is using his new Sako in 300 WSM loaded with Nosler Partitions which IMO is too light. I told him that if the bear was really close to bust his shoulder first but if it was 150+ yards to take heart/lung shots and then sit down and have lunch letting the bear go lay down and bleed out. What do you tell your clients? Should they shoot for the shoulder for the first shot and then take out the organs no matter what the distance?
