Advice on hunting rifle to purchase? Something that takes rimfire (inexpensive ammo) Can take down Grizz.?

there is no such thing as a rimfire round that will stop a grizzly you would just piss him off even more. For a handgun i would recomend a .44 magnum at minimum the new S&W .500 would be much better tho. As for a rifle dont you dare go any smaller than a .30-06 if i were you i would carry a winchester .300 magnum. Man I live in Alaska and i know how big and powerful these bears are. Seriously have you seen one? average grizzly bear is about 10 to 12 feet tall. Please dont be stupid and go out in the woods up here with a little pea shooter, take a real gun that can stop a bear because your life depends on it. It wont be a cheap gun the ammo is kinda spendy and it will have a kick to it but the expense is well worth your life.
