It kills faster than the big 338 lol

The only downside is trying to find ammo if you don’t reload.

Not an issue for me as I reload lol. 180 Bergers

I’ll say it….

That is the LAST thing I would wade into the alders with after a bear.

I 300 RUM’d a lotta critters. My latest grizzly rifle is a Kimber Montana 22 Creed with 88’s.

Bullets matter. Pick the bullet and impact velocity , then choose a cartridge that will achieve that.

Can you post pics of the grizz you shot with that rifle?

280 AI is my vote. Its punches above its pay-grade and is my favorite round.

Certainly will after I kill one. Tends to be more hunting than killing when it comes to grizzlies…

Funny thing, when you’ve lived/worked/hunted/recreated for multiple decades in grizz country, grizzlies cease to be the boogeyman and become just another animal like anything else.

How hard is it to find the ammo? I had never heard of them until now.

I’ve been reading about burning out barrels. For the average hunter that only goes once a year and puts 20-50 rounds through the gun a year, how big of a concern should that be? How many shots typically burn out the barrels from everyone’s experience?

For someone who shoots 50 rounds a year, 30 years on something that burns out barrels fast like a 22 Creed. Stretch that to 100 years on a 308 win.


As a general rule of thumb, the guys who worry about burning out a barrel, aren’t the guys who burn out barrels.

So what does everyone think about this setup? I like the idea of having two barrels for one gun. I'm a little concerned about the weight for hunting. Thoughts?

• Best overall recommendation: Zermätt TL3 or SR3 action + TriggerTech Diamond + Proof CF prefit 280 AI (cerakote) + Zermätt Matterhorn.
• Expected carry weight: about 10–11 lb bare, ~11–12.5 lb scoped, depending on exact barrel length and optic.
