338 vs 375 for Alaskan brown bear?

Or, build the best of both worlds! 375-338wm

I weighed my Rifles, Inc. .375 H&H before this spring's trip. 7 lbs., 13 oz. with scope, but no rounds in the magazine. Recoil is a non-issue.

What does that mean?

Has anyone succeeded in building a lighter weight maneuverable 338 Lapua suppressed as a hunting bush gun ? I've seen some people build a 22" inch barrel 375 RUM.

I have a 20” in my Blaser r8. It’s a flame thrower. Problem is most suppressors aren’t rated for it.

That’s a lot of horsepower for a short range brush gun. Seems like at those shorter distances, especially defensive close situations. You can drop down for more shoot ability and still have plenty of terminal velocity and less flame thrower. 338-06 or 338 RCM or WM
