[QUOTE="GnometownHero, post: 3681626, member: 47828"] A man who lived in and guided in British Columbia, Yukon and NW Territories told me that he would rather a client brought a light weight accurate bolt gun in 30-06 sighted in with 180 gr Nosler Partition ammo and a high quality 1.5-5x 32 scope mounted. Shoot it well with no flinch, having shot it enough prior to the trip to ensure fast reloads and solid hits in Grapefruit sized groups at ranges from 25-400 yds. He said shoot up a bunch of cheap 150 gr so you're fast and sure with that gun. Then dial in with the same box of high performance hunting ammo that 4 or 5 rounds in your gun will hold when actually hunting, if you change boxes of ammo, re check your sight in with the new box of ammo. He said Magnum recoil flinch and muzzle blast causes bad shots on game and if you break the rifle you brought, he is going to loan you his model 70 Winchester 30-06 topped with a 1-5 Leupold and sighted in 2" high at 100yds with Federal Premium 180 gr Nosler Partition.
